UNSPSC 42322504: External fixation management systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a system consisting of products, consumables and accessories that are used to execute an external fixation management procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42322504 External fixation management systems is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local solicitation activity aligned to its scope. The two opportunities in the recent record that relate to orthopedic hardware and extraction services represent the narrow slice of actual procurement under this code: San Mateo Medical Center is requesting proposals for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, with three-year contract term, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of experience supporting acute-care hospitals, and universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. The other recent opportunities tagged to this code—furniture supply for a California outpatient building, law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell, and career technical education resources through Klein ISD—are unrelated to external fixation management or orthopedic hardware extraction and do not represent actual procurement under the code's scope. When relevant opportunities do surface, they come from health systems and medical centers procuring extraction instrumentation, technical support, and case assistance for surgical removal of orthopedic implants, screws, and intramedullary nails.

The recent record shows activity limited to California's San Mateo County, with no geographic concentration or pattern of repeat buying visible. San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services RFP, posted July 1, 2026 with a July 1, 2026 response deadline, is the sole representative solicitation under this code; the evaluation weighted project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence required. A local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent applied under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The code shows little recent procurement activity overall, and opportunities when they appear cluster in the acute-care hospital and trauma surgery market.
