UNSPSC 85802456: Change traction apparatus on chest wall

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 shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with sourced opportunities revealing substantial misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual work being solicited. The single opportunity explicitly tagged to this code is Hillsborough County Public Schools' staffing procurement for medically fragile students (Notice of Intent 25619SSDDST, posted October 19, 2026), which solicits 1:1 nursing services for ventilator management, tracheostomy care, medication administration, and other comprehensive pediatric nursing support—work that falls under healthcare staffing and clinical services rather than the mechanical application or adjustment of chest-wall traction devices. The remaining recent opportunities in the source block represent laboratory services, occupational health screening, dialysis services, drug testing, phlebotomy, emergency medical technician staffing, and medical surveillance across Florida, Texas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Nevada, Michigan, and Washington—none of which align with chest-wall traction apparatus work. This pattern suggests either that the code is rarely used in state and local procurement for its nominal purpose or that sourcing systems are applying it inconsistently to clinical and medical staffing work unrelated to traction equipment.

State and local issuing bodies visible in the broader opportunity set include county corrections departments, county health systems, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and independent hospital authorities. Geographic spread spans multiple states, with particularly dense recent activity in Texas, Florida, Illinois, and California. However, no recent opportunities explicitly describe procurement of traction apparatus components, installation, or maintenance. The code should be treated as inactive for practical business-development purposes unless direct evidence emerges of state and local agencies soliciting for chest-wall traction equipment, replacement parts, or maintenance services.
