UNSPSC 42321501: Surgical wires

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a wire during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42321501 Surgical wires is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under its classification. The source contains four recent solicitations: California's furniture supply and delivery for an outpatient building (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026); San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFP, due July 1, 2026); Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment procurement on behalf of multiple jurisdictions (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026); and Klein Independent School District's Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026). None of these solicitations involves surgical wires or consumable surgical supplies typically purchased under this Commodity code. The furniture, law enforcement equipment, educational resources, and orthopedic hardware extraction systems represent misclassified or unrelated procurement activity.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the posted opportunities suggests minimal relevant recent activity under UNSPSC 42321501 in the state and local market during the review period. Surgical wires—suture materials, retention wires, and related consumable surgical products—are typically procured by healthcare systems, surgical centers, and hospital networks through standing supply agreements or specialty medical-device vendors rather than through competitive RFP cycles that populate cooperative purchasing networks. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should recognize that state and local opportunities tagged under 42321501 may reflect data classification errors and should verify the actual commodity scope in solicitation documents before investing in pursuit.
