UNSPSC 42241809 Shoulder orthopedic softgoods is a Commodity code that covers shoulder braces, slings, support wraps, and related soft orthopedic devices used in clinical and hospital settings. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show procurement spanning cooperative-purchasing vehicles and direct hospital system buys. Issuing bodies include state health departments and agencies procuring through multistate cooperative purchasing agreements (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), as well as county hospital systems and health authorities managing capital projects and clinical supply chains. The code sits within broader medical-supply and orthopedic-services solicitations that encompass multiple product categories and related services; state and local governments are buying shoulder orthopedic devices as part of master-agreement frameworks designed to achieve volume discounts across multiple jurisdictions and entity types.

Recent activity shows three primary geographic clusters: South Dakota (administering NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies, due November 9, 2026), Minnesota (Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services, due October 20, 2026), and California (San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, due July 1, 2026, with a three-year term and local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent). The NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell solicitations are cooperative-purchasing vehicles open to state and local governments across multiple states; the San Mateo procurement is a county health system buy with specific technical and compliance requirements including ISO 13485:2016 certification, $1,000,000 general and products liability insurance, and Section 504 accessibility compliance. Most recent opportunities are bundled within multistate master-agreement frameworks rather than single-jurisdiction buys, signaling that vendors pursuing this code should be prepared for cooperative-purchasing submission processes and responses designed to serve diverse participating entities.
