This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a placement intervention or procedure to change traction apparatus on chest wall. This placement intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 2W04X0Z

UNSPSC 85802456 Change traction apparatus on chest wall is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of work in the most recent state and local contract opportunities on file. The source material documents a substantial volume of clinical laboratory testing, occupational health screening, and medical surveillance services being solicited by state and local agencies—including the Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and numerous county governments and school districts across multiple states. These opportunities encompass phlebotomy, specimen collection, STAT and routine test processing, drug screening, physical examinations, medical imaging, and specialized diagnostics such as lead analysis and Hantavirus testing. The opportunities bear no relation to the traction apparatus code's nominal scope, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement purposes.

The mismatch is substantial and systematic across the available records. State and local buyers in Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Nevada, and other jurisdictions are actively procuring clinical laboratory and occupational health services through RFPs, IFBs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates spanning from March through August 2026, but none of these solicitations invoke UNSPSC 85802456 or reference any equipment or apparatus related to traction systems. The code appears to be a misclassification in the underlying procurement data, and prospective vendors evaluating this code for opportunity identification should confirm the actual UNSPSC coding in active solicitations before committing resources to pursuit.
