UNSPSC 42321602 Spinal cables or cerclage bands is a Commodity code that captures orthopedic surgical hardware and related extraction systems for spinal and musculoskeletal procedures in acute-care and outpatient settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems, along with broader medical supplies frameworks that encompass spinal and other surgical instrumentation. Issuing bodies include public hospital systems, county health agencies, and state-administered cooperative-purchasing vehicles; San Mateo Medical Center has posted a recent as-needed services contract for orthopedic hardware extraction systems, while larger cooperative frameworks administered by NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell establish master agreements for qualified suppliers to serve multiple state and local entities across regions.

Recent activity concentrates on the West Coast and Midwest. San Mateo County, California solicited proposals for Orthopedic Hardware Removal and Extraction System Services (Solicitation 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) on behalf of San Mateo Medical Center, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and technical support availability within Northern California; the contract includes a local-business preference under County Ordinance Chapter 2.89 and a three-year term with performance-based evaluation weighted toward approach and firm qualifications. Broader cooperative-purchasing vehicles including NASPO ValuePoint Medical Supplies (RFP 1433, due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell Physical Health Products and Related Services (RFP 102026, due October 20, 2026) establish master agreements for state and local government entities across multiple states to achieve volume-based pricing on medical supplies, though specific commodity breakouts and contract values are not detailed in the postings. The State of California also posted a furniture procurement for an outpatient building (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) that may touch healthcare facility fitout rather than direct surgical instrumentation.
