UNSPSC 42296109: Cranioplasty plate fasteners

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a faster of the cranial plate as part of a cranioplasty procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296109 Cranioplasty plate fasteners is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect procurement of cranioplasty fasteners or any related medical hardware. The Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, including baseline and periodic medical examinations overseen by occupational-medicine physicians across 14 Washington locations; Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP solicited law enforcement equipment for cooperative purchasing across multiple states and jurisdictions. Neither opportunity aligns with the code's nominal scope of surgical plate fasteners used in cranial reconstruction. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated product definition.

The mismatch between the Commodity code's title and the actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or a data quality issue in the source. Business development professionals should verify the intended UNSPSC code if pursuing occupational health services (which would fall under health care professional services codes) or law enforcement equipment (which would fall under security and protective equipment codes) rather than pursue opportunities under this cranioplasty fasteners classification. No opportunities representing actual procurement of cranioplasty plate fasteners or related cranial surgical hardware appear in the recent state and local pipeline.
