UNSPSC 42182307: Neurological pins

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a Neurological pin in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 340700.

UNSPSC 42182307 Neurological pins is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity filed under this code does not reflect neurological surgical implants or pins. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span hospital equipment, medical devices, emergency medical systems, and educational procurement that bear no substantive connection to the code's stated scope. San Mateo County Medical Center has posted RFPs for laser equipment and surgical power instruments for OR use; Hillsborough County is soliciting maintenance and repair services for ventilators; Marion County, Florida is procuring an EZ-IO intraosseous infusion system for emergency medical response; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is issuing an RFP for spinal implants and surgical supplies on a bill-only basis. None of these represent neurological pins or related fixation devices. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment and a Klein Independent School District RFP for career technical education resources are similarly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either classification error in posting or mission creep in how jurisdictions are tagging medical and surgical equipment procurements.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Hillsborough County), regional emergency services (Marion County), academic medical centers (University of Texas Health Science Center), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, and Texas, with secondary activity in Minnesota and Washington through the Sourcewell cooperative. Representative recent opportunities include the San Mateo County RFP for surgical power equipment (RFP, five-year term, proposal deadline May 28, 2026), the Hillsborough County ITB for three-year ventilator maintenance and repair services at an estimated contract value of $140,225 (bids due June 12, 2026), and the University of Texas Health Science Center RFP for spinal implants on a bill-only basis (proposals due March 10, 2026, with mandatory HUB subcontracting plan submission). Given the lack of relevant recent opportunities under this code, firms specializing in neurological fixation devices and implants should verify whether opportunities are being posted under more appropriate UNSPSC classifications or whether activity in this market segment remains inactive within state and local procurement channels.
