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 names orthopedic hardware-extraction and surgical-support services, not passive product inventory. State and local health systems are soliciting under this code for active surgical-support services — equipment, technical expertise, and case management for safe removal of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware. The primary buying body in the recent record is San Mateo Medical Center, a county public hospital system in California, which issued an as-needed procurement for three-year orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services with mandatory ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, universal system compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical-support availability. Larger cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell have also tagged medical-supplies and physical-health-products categories under this code tier, though those solicitations do not detail commodity breakout by soft tissue fixation line items.

The most recent activity is concentrated in California and the Upper Midwest cooperative-purchasing administering states (South Dakota for NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota for Sourcewell). The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation (RFP 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) represents the most concrete recent opportunity directly aligned with soft tissue fixation scope — it requires proposers to demonstrate firm and team qualifications, project approach, and price scoring, mandates $1,000,000 each in general and product liability coverage plus $5,000,000 cyber liability, and applies San Mateo County's 5 to 10 percent local-business preference under Chapter 2.89. The broader cooperative vehicles — NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's Physical Health Products RFP 26RFP102026 (due October 20, 2026) — establish master agreements for multiple state and local government entities across multi-state regions, though neither source specifies whether soft tissue fixation products or services are explicitly included as discrete line items in those master-agreement frameworks.
