UNSPSC 42321506 Bone screws or pegs is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it does not align with orthopedic hardware procurement — instead, the code shows activity in medical-supplies cooperative purchasing, healthcare facility furniture, and law-enforcement equipment. Of the five recent opportunities in the source, only one directly addresses orthopedic hardware: San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which encompasses orthopedic implant removal, screw extraction, and intramedullary nail removal on an as-needed basis for acute-care surgical procedures. The remaining opportunities under this code (NASPO ValuePoint's medical-supplies master-agreement RFP, Sourcewell's physical-health-products RFP, California's outpatient-building furniture RFB, and Sourcewell's law-enforcement-equipment RFP) are unrelated to bone screws or pegs as typically defined in orthopedic procurement. The mix of issuing bodies includes state-level cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), a county public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a state facilities agency (California), and regional county consortia (Washington counties participating in Sourcewell). The code shows little relevant recent activity for bone screws specifically.

The geographic spread of relevant activity is narrow: the one directly applicable opportunity is in California (San Mateo County). San Mateo Medical Center issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services with a proposal due date of July 1, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.; the contract term is three years, and proposers must hold five years of orthopedic extraction-system experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and ability to support multiple implant-manufacturer systems across Northern California. The procurement applies a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and requires compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, and the County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour. This code tier does not appear to serve as an accurate classifier for bone-screw procurement in current state and local practice; vendors targeting orthopedic hardware or implant-removal services should monitor medical-supplies and surgical-services codes more closely for aligned opportunities.
