UNSPSC 42321505 Bone plates is a Commodity code that addresses orthopedic surgical hardware and related extraction or removal systems for acute-care hospitals and surgical centers. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing activity centered on orthopedic implant removal and extraction system services rather than the sale of bone plates themselves. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued an RFP in July 2026 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years of experience providing systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California technical support availability for safe removal of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems and public hospital operators; San Mateo Medical Center is a full-service public hospital and clinic system serving the county without regard for ability to pay.

Recent activity under the code appears limited to Northern California, with San Mateo County representing the most clearly relevant recent solicitation. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted July 1, 2026 with a response deadline of July 1, 2026, required proposers to demonstrate project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a three-year contract term from execution. San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 applied a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent. Required insurance included general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence. The code's recent-opportunity block shows no other state and local solicitations directly matching bone plates or orthopedic surgical hardware procurement; other opportunities in the block address furniture supply for healthcare facilities, law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career technical education instructional resources—all plainly unrelated to the code's scope.
