UNSPSC 42296705: Surgical bone cements

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as bone cement during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300640.

UNSPSC 42296705 Surgical bone cements (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity flagged under this code. The three most recent opportunities posted under the code involve orthopedic hardware extraction systems, law enforcement equipment, and spinal implants—none of which are surgical bone cements. The San Mateo County Medical Center RFP solicits orthopedic hardware removal and extraction services for safe removal of implants, screws, and intramedullary nails; the Sourcewell cooperative procurement seeks law enforcement equipment for multi-jurisdictional use; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio RFP procures spinal implant systems and instrumentation for a newly opened hospital. These opportunities represent misclassification or cross-tagging under the surgical bone cements code rather than genuine market activity in the commodity itself.

The issuing bodies span health care systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) and a statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington and other jurisdictions nationwide). Activity is concentrated in California and Washington, with the Sourcewell procurement serving a national scope across multiple states and Canada. The San Mateo opportunity closed July 1, 2026, with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under County Ordinance and a three-year contract term; the University of Texas RFP (response due March 10, 2026) requires HUB subcontracting plans and offers multi-award contracts for spinal implants across a 144-bed facility with 12 operating rooms. No solicitations for surgical bone cements themselves appear in the recent-opportunities block, indicating the code sees limited or misaligned procurement activity at the state and local level.
