UNSPSC 42295905 Endoprosthesis or wall stents or tubes is a Commodity code under which state and local health systems and hospitals procure surgical implants, extraction systems, and related instrumentation for orthopedic and spinal procedures. The recent solicitation activity shows that buyers are acquiring spinal fusion constructs, pedicle screws, interbody cages, cervical and lumbar implants, and orthopedic hardware extraction systems on both product-supply and service-delivery bases. Issuing bodies include public hospitals and health science centers — San Mateo Medical Center (a county hospital serving San Mateo County, California), the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and public agencies participating in cooperative purchasing arrangements. The work involves supplying FDA-approved or CE-certified implants, managing inventory and loaner instruments, providing technical support and case assistance during procedures, and in some cases delivering hardware-removal services with five-plus years of demonstrated experience in acute-care hospital settings.

Activity under this code concentrates in California and Texas, where the two most recent and substantive opportunities have posted. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants on a bill-only basis for a newly opened 144-bed hospital with 12 operating rooms, with proposals due March 10, 2026, and a mandatory requirement that all proposers submit a Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan. San Mateo County (acting through San Mateo Medical Center) posted RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis with proposals due July 1, 2026 and a 5–10 percent local-business preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89; the contract term is three years, and bidders must hold ISO 13485:2016 certification and general and products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence. A third recent opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026, is tagged to this code but appears unrelated to orthopedic or spinal implant procurement and does not represent activity under the code's actual scope.
