UNSPSC 42291617: Surgical spuds

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as surgical spuds during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42291617 Surgical spuds, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records five recent opportunities tagged across state and local jurisdictions, but none involve surgical spuds or closely related orthopedic surgical instruments; instead, the tagged opportunities span master-agreement medical supplies (NASPO ValuePoint), physical health products and related services (Sourcewell), outpatient building furniture (State of California), orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). The code appears to see no active solicitation volume in the state and local market as of October 2026.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity in the source suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement data or discontinuation of surgical-spud procurement at the state and local level. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify current demand through direct outreach to hospital procurement offices, state health-department purchasing units, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell, which are the dominant cooperative platforms for health care commodity aggregation shown in the source records.
