UNSPSC 42322601 Orthopedic hole eliminators or plugs, a Commodity code, sees minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The single directly relevant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services posted July 1, 2026, with a due date of the same day. The solicitation addresses extraction systems for safe removal of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware compatible with multiple orthopedic implant manufacturers, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of experience in acute-care hospital support, and universal extraction capability across implant systems. The remaining recent opportunities tagged under this code—a California state furniture procurement for an outpatient building, a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment initiative, and a Klein ISD career technical education RFP—bear no relationship to orthopedic hole eliminators or extraction systems and appear to represent miscoding.

San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital and clinic system in San Mateo County, California, is the identifiable issuing body pursuing work within the code's actual scope. The RFP requires general liability and products liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation as required by California, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence, with a three-year contract term. Evaluation criteria weight project approach at 30 points, firm qualifications at 25 points, team qualifications at 20 points, and price at 25 points. The procurement supports a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Service and technical support must be available within Northern California. The code shows sparse recent activity and concentrated issuing-body interest; business development professionals evaluating this commodity should monitor California health care procurement channels and San Mateo County notices for additional hospital and medical system opportunities.
