UNSPSC 42293406 Surgical implant positioners and holders is a Commodity code that covers equipment and devices used to stabilize, position, and secure surgical implants and anatomical structures during operative procedures. State and local governments procure this code through hospital systems and medical centers that need specialized positioning equipment, fixation devices, and support apparatus for surgical implant placement across orthopedic, spinal, cardiac, and general surgical applications. The issuing bodies are primarily county-operated public hospital systems and state health authorities managing acute-care facilities and surgical services. San Mateo County Medical Center appears as a repeat buyer, actively soliciting surgical equipment and support services for operating room use; the State of California is also active in healthcare facility procurement.

Recent opportunities in the code show geographic concentration in California and Nevada. San Mateo County Medical Center posted two RFPs in June and July 2026—one for laser equipment and operating room technical support services (due July 10, 2026) and a second for surgical power equipment to replace obsolete instruments (due May 28, 2026), both with five-year contract terms. A State of California facilities procurement (RFB-IS-26200984, due June 4, 2026) solicited furniture and furnishings for an outpatient building, though this opportunity appears misclassified under the surgical implant positioner code and contains no implant positioning or holding equipment in scope. Additional recent opportunities in the source—a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative (Sourcewell RFP #061626) and a Nevada State Police phlebotomy services solicitation—are plainly unrelated to surgical implant positioning. The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope; the two San Mateo RFPs for surgical equipment and technical staffing are the only recent postings with clear relevance to surgical OR operations, though neither explicitly names implant positioners or holders as deliverables.
