UNSPSC 42322500: External fixation components

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in external fixation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42322500 External fixation components is a Class code that encompasses orthopedic surgical hardware removal and extraction systems, related instrumentation, and associated technical support services procured by state and local healthcare providers and medical systems. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct healthcare procurement, including orthopedic extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, technical support and case assistance for surgical procedures, and retrieval and sterilization of instrumentation. The issuing bodies include public hospital systems, county health departments, state cooperative purchasing entities, and regional healthcare authorities. Recent solicitations show activity centered on as-needed surgical support services and master agreements for medical supplies and related healthcare products accessible across multiple state and local jurisdictions.

San Mateo Medical Center, a California county public hospital, solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFP 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) requiring vendors to demonstrate five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal extraction-system capability across multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support availability; the three-year contract includes general liability and products liability insurance minimums of $1,000,000 per occurrence and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence. NASPO ValuePoint (South Dakota administering state) and Sourcewell (Minnesota cooperative) both posted master-agreement RFPs for medical supplies and physical health products in September 2026 (due November 9, 2026 and October 20, 2026, respectively), establishing contracting vehicles available to multiple state and local entities across numerous states. The State of California also procured healthcare-related furniture for an outpatient building (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026), which is tangentially tagged to this code despite furniture being outside the external fixation components scope. Recent activity concentrates in California and through multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles, with limited geographic diversity in direct single-agency procurements.
