UNSPSC 42241800: Orthopedic softgoods for upper extremity and torso

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in medical procedures utilizing on orthopedic softgoods for upper extremity and torso.

UNSPSC 42241800 Orthopedic softgoods for upper extremity and torso is a Class code covering braces, supports, wraps, and related devices used in clinical and surgical orthopedic settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct procurement activity for the narrowly defined product category; instead, the code appears in broader cooperative-purchasing vehicles and healthcare facility procurements where orthopedic supplies form one component of a larger medical-supplies or physical health products portfolio. The issuing bodies include state cooperative-purchasing units (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), county health systems (San Mateo County), and state capital projects (California). Work being solicited ranges from orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center, RFP 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) to furniture and casework for outpatient healthcare facilities (State of California, RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026), neither of which directly corresponds to the code's narrow focus on softgoods for upper extremity and torso.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Minnesota, with NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell dominating the cooperative-purchasing vehicle landscape. The most relevant posted opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252, which solicits orthopedic hardware extraction system services on an as-needed basis with a three-year contract term, ISO 13485:2016 certification required, and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available. NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 (due October 20, 2026) establish master agreements for medical supplies and physical health products across multiple participating state and local entities, though the specific commodity breakout and the extent to which orthopedic softgoods are targeted within those umbrellas remain unspecified in the source material. The code shows little discrete recent procurement activity narrowly matching its stated scope; opportunities tagged under it tend to embed orthopedic products within broader healthcare purchasing frameworks.
