UNSPSC 42296702: Surgical bone cement mixers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a bone cement mixer during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42296702 Surgical bone cement mixers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single directly relevant opportunity—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (solicitation 666002526252, due July 1, 2026)—addresses surgical instrumentation and implant retrieval rather than bone cement mixing. The two other recent solicitations tagged to this code—Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement and UTHSA's spinal implants RFP—fall outside orthopedic bone cement equipment scope entirely, suggesting potential cataloging misalignment in the opportunity records. When the code does see procurement activity, it centers on orthopedic surgical support services, including equipment delivery, technical support, and instrumentation management for hospitals and acute-care facilities.

San Mateo Medical Center's opportunity is the only recent solicitation materially connected to orthopedic surgical practice. The County of San Mateo is seeking proposals for orthopedic extraction system services on an as-needed basis, with a three-year term and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The request requires vendors to demonstrate five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal compatibility with multiple implant manufacturers, and technical support availability within Northern California. Issuing bodies under this code appear limited to hospital systems and county health departments; recent activity is concentrated in California. The code shows low visibility across state and local procurement channels, with no indication of active pursuit by school districts, transit authorities, or state purchasing offices.
