UNSPSC 42322601 Orthopedic hole eliminators or plugs is a Commodity code that describes specialized surgical instrumentation used to remove or extract orthopedic implants, hardware systems, and related components during surgical procedures. State and local governments procure this code through public hospitals, medical centers, and health systems that perform orthopedic surgery and require equipment to safely extract screws, intramedullary nails, and other implant hardware during revision or removal procedures. The issuing bodies are primarily public hospital systems and county medical centers, supplemented by cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) that aggregate demand across multiple state and local health agencies to establish master agreements and contracting solutions for qualified vendors.

Recent activity shows San Mateo Medical Center (California) issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, with responses due July 1, 2026; the scope included three-year contract terms, delivery and technical support throughout Northern California, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and demonstrated experience with acute-care hospital orthopedic programs. Separately, NASPO ValuePoint (administering state South Dakota) posted RFP 1433 for medical supplies with a November 9, 2026 deadline, and Sourcewell (Minnesota) posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services with an October 20, 2026 deadline—both cooperative vehicles designed to establish master agreements for state and local government entities nationwide. A State of California furniture procurement (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) was tagged to this code but addressed outpatient building casework and seating, indicating potential code-classification drift in the posting system. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and the cooperative-purchasing administrative hubs (Minnesota and South Dakota), with broader participation available through NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell vehicles across the United States.
