UNSPSC 42322301 Pectus bars is a Commodity code for specialized orthopedic surgical hardware and extraction systems used in acute-care hospital and surgical settings. State and local health care systems—primarily public hospitals, medical centers, and county health authorities—solicit under this code for orthopedic implant removal systems, surgical instrumentation, and related hardware compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. The scope encompasses equipment delivery, technical support, case assistance for safe removal of orthopedic implants and fasteners, and service availability within regional healthcare networks. Issuing bodies are predominantly public hospital systems and county health authorities operating acute-care facilities and surgical programs; these entities structure contracts on an as-needed service basis with multi-year terms and require vendors to demonstrate ISO 13485:2016 certification, five or more years of orthopedic hardware extraction experience, and robust insurance coverage including general liability, products liability, and cyber liability components.

San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, requiring vendors to support a three-year contract with technical availability in Northern California and compatibility across multiple implant systems. The State of California solicited furniture and casework for an outpatient building project (due July 28, 2026) under a separate procurement, though this appears to be a code classification mismatch rather than representative activity under the pectus bars commodity. Recent activity concentrates in California's public hospital sector; no opportunities from other states or regions appear in the source. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume, with one clearly relevant solicitation from San Mateo County.
