UNSPSC 42241807: Hand or finger orthopedic softgoods

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product mostly nondurable goods as represented especially by textile products used in association with orthopedic treatment of the hand or finger in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42241807 Hand or finger orthopedic softgoods, a Commodity code, encompasses braces, splints, wraps, and support devices for hand and finger injuries or conditions procured by state and local health systems and medical facilities. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show limited alignment with the nominal scope; the most directly relevant solicitation is the San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (posted July 1, 2026), which addresses implant removal rather than soft-goods orthopedic support. The California State procurement for outpatient building furniture (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) are unrelated to hand or finger orthopedic softgoods. Klein Independent School District's CTE and Advanced Academics RFP similarly falls outside the code's scope. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity.

The geographic spread of substantive orthopedic procurement activity appears concentrated in Northern California, specifically San Mateo County, where the medical center's three-year extraction-system services contract requires vendors to demonstrate five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and capability to support acute-care hospitals with universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. San Mateo County's local-business preference (5 to 10 percent) and living wage ordinance ($17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment) apply to all awarded vendors. No recent state or local opportunities specifically solicit hand and finger orthopedic softgoods as a primary commodity.
