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 state and local governments use to procure specialized medical training simulators and anatomical models for clinical education and surgical preparation. Recent solicitations show a pronounced shift toward full-body birthing trainers, obstetric simulation kits, and veterinary surgical models rather than traditional preoperative surgical planning aids. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) solicited OB trainer sets and birth simulator accessories through an IFB in June 2026, while Texas A&M University sought a canine simulator system with wound and amputation attachments for veterinary technology training. Both procurements emphasize hands-on clinical decision-making and scenario-based training. The issuing bodies under this code include academic medical centers and university health sciences divisions, which dominate the recent activity; no county or municipal health departments or independent school districts appear in the recent opportunities. Evaluation criteria consistently prioritize vendor reputation, quality, warranty terms, and total long-term acquisition cost alongside price, with some procurements incorporating state-level set-aside designations such as Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) compliance and small and minority business participation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where TTUHSC posted its IFB for medical training models with a bid deadline of June 10, 2026, and Texas A&M's Veterinary Technology Lab issued an ITB for a canine simulator due June 5, 2026, with delivery to College Station. TTUHSC's procurement includes HUB set-aside preferences and requires a VetHUB Subcontracting Plan if expected expenditures exceed $100,000, while Texas A&M determined that subcontracting opportunities are not probable and imposed no set-aside restrictions. Both solicitations require new, unused equipment in first-class condition with minimum one-year warranties and prompt service support. No dollar values or award amounts are specified in the available documentation, and the code shows limited recent activity outside Texas academic institutions, suggesting a narrow market with modest transaction frequency.
