UNSPSC 42322510: External fixation cube or spacer or adapter or stopper

Component used in external fixation procedures.

UNSPSC 42322510 External fixation cube or spacer or adapter or stopper is a Commodity code that encompasses orthopedic surgical hardware components and related extraction or removal systems being procured through state and local healthcare and cooperative-purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems for acute-care hospital surgical procedures, compatible instrumentation for implant removal, and related technical support and case services. Issuing bodies include public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), state health agencies, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple state and local entities. The code's scope reflects healthcare facility capital and operational procurement for orthopedic surgical services rather than the code name's narrower fixation-hardware framing.

Recent activity centers in California and the Upper Midwest through cooperative vehicles. San Mateo County's July 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (Solicitation 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) required five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal compatibility with multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support; the contract term is three years with general liability and products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence. NASPO ValuePoint's September 2026 master-agreement RFP for medical supplies (26RFP1433, due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's September 2026 RFP for physical health products and related services (26RFP102026, due October 20, 2026) both establish cooperative contracting solutions available to participating state and local entities across multiple states, though specific orthopedic-hardware commodity detail is not itemized in the available posting. The code shows active procurement across healthcare system capital projects and cooperative-purchasing vehicles, with San Mateo County's local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent and California's minority- and women-owned business enterprise set-asides available under state policy.
