UNSPSC 42291604 Surgical bone hand saws or wire saws or saw handles is a Commodity code representing specialized orthopedic surgical instruments and accessory items purchased by state and local health systems, primarily public hospitals and medical centers. Recent state and local solicitations under this code frame the actual purchasing activity as part of broader medical-supplies master agreements and orthopedic surgical-services contracts. The issuing bodies are cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint administered by South Dakota, and Sourcewell administered by Minnesota), which aggregate demand across multiple state and local government entities, and direct public healthcare providers such as San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated public hospital and clinic system). These cooperative vehicles and individual hospital systems use the code to establish supply relationships for orthopedic surgical instruments and related extraction and removal systems needed to support acute-care surgical programs.

Recent opportunities include NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies (proposals due November 9, 2026), which establishes master agreements available to state and local entities across multiple states through collective purchasing; Sourcewell RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services (proposals due October 20, 2026), which creates a contracting vehicle for Sourcewell's Participating Entities across Minnesota and other jurisdictions; and San Mateo Medical Center RFP 666002526252 for Orthopedic Hardware Removal and Extraction System Services (proposals due July 1, 2026), which procures orthopedic extraction systems and technical support on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures at a Northern California public hospital. Geographic activity spans South Dakota (NASPO administration), Minnesota (Sourcewell administration), and California (San Mateo County direct procurement), with cooperative vehicles extending reach to numerous additional states. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in cooperative purchasing frameworks and direct procurement by public hospital systems rather than fragmented purchasing across individual municipalities or school districts.
