UNSPSC 42321512 Bone fixation pin or wire is a Commodity code describing surgical orthopedic hardware and extraction systems that state and local healthcare systems and hospital networks purchase for acute-care patient treatment. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show purchasing focused on orthopedic surgical services, hardware extraction capabilities, and broader medical-supplies contracting vehicles rather than discrete pin and wire commodities alone. Issuing bodies include public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), state procurement cooperatives (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell), and state capital-project authorities (California Department of General Services). State and local health systems use this code to establish master agreements and single-source relationships for orthopedic implant removal, surgical instrumentation, and related technical support on multi-year contracts.

Recent activity centers in California and the Upper Midwest through cooperative-purchasing vehicles. San Mateo Medical Center (California) posted RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on July 1, 2026, seeking three-year contracts for delivery, technical support, and retrieval of orthopedic hardware compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, with ISO 13485:2016 certification required and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available. NASPO ValuePoint (administered by South Dakota) posted RFP 26RFP1433 for medical supplies on September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishing master agreements for state and local government entities across multiple states. Sourcewell (Minnesota local government cooperative) posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services on September 1, 2026 with an October 20, 2026 deadline. These cooperative vehicles dominate recent posting activity, reflecting state and local preference for collective purchasing volume and standardized contracting terms rather than single-jurisdiction procurements.
