UNSPSC 42322302: Sternal closure devices

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

UNSPSC 42322302 Sternal closure devices, a Commodity code, covers surgical implants and hardware-removal systems for cardiothoracic and orthopedic procedures solicited through state and local cooperative purchasing vehicles and individual public healthcare providers. Recent opportunities show two distinct procurement streams: first, broad medical-supplies master agreements through cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) that bundle sternal closure devices with other healthcare commodities for collective state and local purchasing; second, specialized orthopedic hardware extraction systems and related surgical services procured directly by county hospital systems on an as-needed or periodic basis. The issuing bodies are predominantly state-affiliated cooperative purchasing organizations (South Dakota administering NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota administering Sourcewell) and individual county healthcare systems, particularly public hospital networks. No state health departments or independent school districts appear in recent activity under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Minnesota, and the Upper Midwest cooperative-purchasing footprint. Representative opportunities include NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishing master agreements for state and local entities across multiple states; Sourcewell's RFP for physical health products and related services, proposals due October 20, 2026, serving Participating Entities across the United States and Canada; and San Mateo Medical Center's request for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFP 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years' experience, and $1,000,000 general and products liability coverage. The San Mateo solicitation illustrates the compliance burden for healthcare-sector work under this code—HIPAA privacy and security standards, Section 504 accessibility, County Living Wage Ordinance requirements at $17.00 per hour, and Corporate Compliance Code of Conduct governing anti-kickback and fraud-abuse obligations apply to contract performance.
