UNSPSC 42322201: Interference screws

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an interference screw in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42322201 Interference screws (Commodity) represents orthopedic surgical hardware—specifically extraction and removal systems for orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware used in acute-care hospital surgical procedures. State and local governments procure these as part of capital equipment purchases, healthcare facility outfitting, and surgical-service contracting for county-operated and public hospital systems. The work involves sourcing compatible systems across multiple orthopedic implant manufacturers, delivering technical support and case assistance for hardware removal, and maintaining inventory and retrieval capabilities for healthcare operations.

Public hospital systems and county health agencies issue opportunities under this code. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 on July 1, 2026 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, Northern California technical support, and a three-year contract term with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Broader state and local medical-supplies cooperative-purchasing vehicles—including NASPO ValuePoint (RFP 1433, due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell Physical Health Products (RFP 102026, due October 20, 2026)—establish master agreements and contracting solutions for health products available to multiple jurisdictions, though specific commodity categories and interference-screw inclusion are not detailed in the postings. California activity centers on equipment and facility needs; Minnesota-based cooperative vehicles serve multi-state and multi-jurisdiction participating entities. The code shows sparse recent activity tied specifically to interference screws; most state and local procurement under the nominal code occurs through broader health-products master-agreement vehicles rather than standalone hardware solicitations.
