UNSPSC 42322200: Soft tissue fixation products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in the fixation of soft tissue implantation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42322200 Soft tissue fixation products is a Class code that encompasses orthopedic surgical hardware removal and extraction systems used in acute-care hospital settings. State and local health systems and hospital authorities are the primary buyers under this code, soliciting services and equipment for safe extraction of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware during surgical procedures. Vendors typically must demonstrate five years of experience providing orthopedic hardware extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, hold ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent, and maintain robust technical support and case support capabilities within their service region. The code also extends to related orthopedic equipment and supplies procured through healthcare facilities' capital and operational budgets.

San Mateo Medical Center in San Mateo County, California, posted RFP 666002526252 on July 1, 2026, seeking orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis with a three-year contract term and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Contractors must carry general liability and products liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 cyber liability coverage, and must comply with Section 504 accessibility requirements, HIPAA standards, and the County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment. The California health system represents the active geographic concentration for this code in the recent opportunities block. The code shows limited recent activity; the other opportunities in the source—a California state furniture procurement for an outpatient building, a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative, and a Texas school district's career technical education solicitation—are unrelated to soft tissue fixation or orthopedic hardware extraction and appear to be misclassified under this UNSPSC code.
