UNSPSC 42321509 Orthopedic washers, a Commodity code, describes fastening hardware used in orthopedic surgical procedures and implant systems. State and local governments procure orthopedic washers as components within broader medical-supply contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and healthcare facility capital projects. Recent solicitations show the code sits within larger medical-supply master agreements and health-product cooperative contracting frameworks rather than standing alone as a line-item procurement; orthopedic washers appear alongside related surgical hardware, extraction systems, and facility furnishings in multi-category RFPs issued by health systems and cooperative purchasing consortia. The issuing bodies include state health departments acting through cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), county public hospital systems (San Mateo County), and state capital-project procurement offices (California).

Recent activity centers on three geographic areas: California (State of California outpatient building furniture and San Mateo County orthopedic hardware removal services), Minnesota and the multi-state Sourcewell network (physical health products RFP 26RFP102026 due October 20, 2026), and the national NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies master-agreement program (RFP 1433 due November 9, 2026, administered by South Dakota). The most directly relevant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services posted July 1, 2026, which called for universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers and ISO 13485:2016 certification; that contract term was three years. NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products RFP 26RFP102026 (due October 20, 2026) both establish master agreements available to multiple state and local entities, making them high-leverage vehicles for vendors seeking cooperative purchasing placement in the orthopedic-supply space.
