UNSPSC 42322709: Charcot screws or beams or rods

In this classification, this commodity indicates a spanning beam through the metatarsals into the midfoot bones of the foot to support the arch stress required in a Charcot procedure in orthopedic based foot surgery. Excludes traditional bone screws.

UNSPSC 42322709 Charcot screws or beams or rods is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show little relevance to orthopedic hardware or spinal implants. Of the four opportunities posted between April and July 2026, only one—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (due July 1, 2026)—aligns with the code's nominal scope; the remaining three solicitations cover outpatient building furniture (State of California), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), and career technical education instructional resources (Klein ISD). The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the source data or inconsistent coding practice by the issuing bodies. The one relevant opportunity, San Mateo Medical Center's three-year contract for as-needed orthopedic hardware extraction systems, specifies universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, delivery and technical support within Northern California, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County ordinance.

Activity under this code does not show a consistent pattern sufficient to characterize market concentration, issuing-body mix, or geographic focus. The single orthopedic-hardware-related solicitation originates from San Mateo County in California, with proposals due July 1, 2026, and evaluation criteria weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Contractors must carry general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence, and comply with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility requirements, and San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour. Absent additional recent opportunities properly coded under this commodity, the code presents minimal near-term pursuit opportunity.
