UNSPSC 42241801 Arm orthopedic softgoods is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under it primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and individual health system procurements for orthopedic support devices, braces, slings, and related soft-tissue management products used in acute-care hospitals, outpatient clinics, and surgical settings. The solicitations reflect two distinct buying patterns: cooperative master-agreement vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell) that establish pricing and terms across multiple states and participating entities, and direct procurements by individual health systems and medical centers for patient care and surgical support. The code encompasses arm-specific orthopedic devices integrated into broader medical-supplies or physical-health-products contracting frameworks.

Recent activity appears concentrated in cooperative purchasing vehicles and health system-specific opportunities in California and Minnesota. NASPO ValuePoint issued RFP 1433 for medical supplies with proposals due November 9, 2026, administered by South Dakota with Idaho as the procurement portal host, open to state and local entities across multiple states; Sourcewell issued RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services with proposals due October 20, 2026, serving Sourcewell's Participating Entities across numerous jurisdictions. San Mateo Medical Center in California solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFQ 666002526252, due July 1, 2026), requiring ISO 13485 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, and compliance with Section 504 accessibility, HIPAA, and the County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour. A California state outpatient-building furniture procurement (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) included healthcare-environment casework and seating but does not represent core arm orthopedic softgoods activity. The code shows limited stand-alone recent activity; most procurement flows through cooperative vehicles and health-system master agreements rather than discrete RFPs or RFQs targeted specifically to arm orthopedic softgoods.
