UNSPSC 42322707: Syndesmotic implant

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used in orthopedic based foot and angle surgery, specifically designed for procedure-specific surgical procedures involving a syndesmotic and/or ligamentous disruption.

UNSPSC 42322707 Syndesmotic implant, a Commodity code, covers specialized orthopedic hardware used to stabilize joints and manage syndesmotic injuries in surgical settings. State and local governments purchase these devices primarily through health systems, public hospitals, and county medical centers that perform orthopedic procedures. The scope encompasses implants and related extraction systems needed for acute-care hospital operations, trauma care, and surgical recovery. Issuing bodies include county public hospital systems such as San Mateo Medical Center, as well as state and local health departments procuring through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Recent procurement activity shows a mix of direct hospital solicitations for hardware services and broader master-agreement vehicles that bundle syndesmotic implants with wider medical-supplies categories.

Recent activity centers on California and Minnesota cooperative purchasing frameworks. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, seeking vendors with five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California service availability; the contract term is three years with evaluation weighted 30 percent on project approach, 25 percent firm qualifications, 20 percent team qualifications, and 25 percent price. NASPO ValuePoint (South Dakota administering, RFP 1433) and Sourcewell (Minnesota, RFP 26RFP102026) both issued cooperative-purchasing solicitations for medical supplies and physical health products respectively, with response dates of November 9, 2026 and October 20, 2026. These vehicles establish master agreements available to state and local entities across multiple states. A separate California furniture bid (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) for outpatient building equipment suggests healthcare capital projects sometimes tag orthopedic or surgical categories incidentally. San Mateo County applies local-business preferences of 5 to 10 percent and living-wage requirements of $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment.
