UNSPSC 42322204: Soft tissue fixation washers

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a soft tissue fixation washer in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42322204 Soft tissue fixation washers is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, shows minimal alignment with its nominal scope—the code does not appear in any recently posted solicitations directly matching orthopedic implant hardware, surgical fixation devices, or related medical consumables. The four recent opportunities tagged under or near this code span furniture procurement for healthcare outpatient buildings, orthopedic hardware extraction system services, law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing, and career technical education instructional resources—none of which constitute soft tissue fixation washers or comparable surgical fixation consumables. The mismatch between the code's defined product scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either inconsistent code application by issuing bodies or a gap between the taxonomy and current state and local procurement practice in this medical device category.

The recent opportunities originate from California state healthcare capital projects, San Mateo County Medical Center, Sourcewell (Minnesota cooperative serving multi-state participating entities including Washington counties), and Klein Independent School District (Texas), with no clear concentration of relevant activity. The sole orthopedic-related solicitation—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, due July 1, 2026—addresses implant extraction rather than fixation hardware procurement. Given the absence of recent solicitations materially aligned with soft tissue fixation washers or similar surgical fixation consumables under this code, there is no actionable pipeline of state and local opportunities to characterize geographic spread, issuing-body patterns, or representative procurement activity in the target product line.
