UNSPSC 42301512: Anatomical human models for preoperative surgical planning

Complex orthopaedic or reconstructive surgical procedure planning is supplemented by three dimensional models of the individual patient anatomic features. Models may be derived from computer generated or radiologic images.

UNSPSC 42301512 Anatomical human models for preoperative surgical planning is a Commodity code that covers specialized training simulators and anatomical models used by higher education and health sciences institutions for nursing, medical, and veterinary education. State and local buyers in this space procure life-like training equipment including virtual cadaver dissection tables, obstetric trainer sets, wound simulation kits, and canine surgery simulators—equipment that replicates clinical scenarios for hands-on student training. Community colleges and university health sciences centers issue the majority of recent solicitations, typically through IFB or ITB notice types that emphasize manufacturer specifications, authorized distributor eligibility, and performance-based evaluation criteria including quality, warranty terms, and total cost of ownership.

Recent activity centers in Texas, with solicitations from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (IFB 739-SL3804373 for OB and birth trainer sets with a bid due June 10, 2026), Texas A&M University (ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5016 for a canine simulator with a bid due June 5, 2026), and Rockland Community College in New York (RFQ RFBRCC2026002 for a virtual cadaver table with proposals due August 20, 2026). These institutions typically identify a single manufacturer as the performance standard—Anatomage for cadaver tables, Paradigm Medical for obstetric trainers, and specialized veterinary simulation vendors for surgical training—while remaining open to approved-equals bids from authorized resellers or distributors. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's May 26, 2026 RFP (CLSF2628) for classroom furniture and supplies, while broader in scope, indicates cooperative purchasing vehicles are in use but does not directly bear on anatomical model procurement. Set-asides and HUB compliance appear in some solicitations (TTUHSC requires HUB threshold compliance and a VetHUB Subcontracting Plan if costs exceed $100,000; Texas A&M determined HUB subcontracting is not probable), while others carry no stated preference designations.
