UNSPSC 42322512: External fixation clip

Component used in external fixation procedures.

UNSPSC 42322512 External fixation clip, a Commodity code, covers orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems, surgical instrumentation, and related medical device services that state and local governments procure for acute-care hospital and outpatient surgical programs. The code's recent activity reflects purchases spanning both capital equipment and master-agreement pricing vehicles rather than consumable clips alone, reflecting how state and local procurement offices consolidate orthopedic and surgical supply purchasing through cooperative agreements and healthcare facility-specific contracts. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county medical centers, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions; San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system in California) and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative serving state and local entities nationwide) appear as active solicitors in the recent period.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and the upper Midwest, with Sourcewell-administered cooperative agreements serving participating entities across multiple states and regions. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252 (issued July 1, 2026, response due July 1, 2026) seeking orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support; and Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services (issued September 1, 2026, response due October 20, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time) establishing a contracting vehicle for state and local participating entities nationwide. NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 (issued September 25, 2026, response due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time) is also active, soliciting master-agreement proposals for medical supplies through South Dakota's administering office, open to state and local governments across multiple states.
