UNSPSC 42321514: Bone fixation staples

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

UNSPSC 42321514 Bone fixation staples is a Commodity-tier code that shows limited relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic hardware for surgical bone fixation—appears in only one of the four recent opportunities tagged to it: San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which encompasses retrieval of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware. The other three tagged opportunities—a California state furniture procurement for an outpatient building, a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP spanning multiple Washington counties, and a Klein Independent School District CTE instructional resources RFP in Texas—do not align with bone fixation staples and suggest either mislabeling or platform indexing errors rather than genuine procurement demand under the code.

San Mateo County Medical Center represents the issuing body with applicable demand, posting an RFP with a June 17, 2026 questions deadline and July 1, 2026 proposal due date for as-needed orthopedic extraction services with a three-year term; the procurement emphasizes ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, universal extraction-system compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support, with local-business preference available under San Mateo County Ordinance Chapter 2.89. Geographic activity is concentrated in California's Bay Area based on the one relevant opportunity. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and three of four tagged opportunities suggests that this code may be inactive or underused in current state and local procurement; business development professionals should verify whether bone fixation staples are actually being sourced through this code or whether procurement offices are using alternative codes or vendor relationships for orthopedic implants and associated hardware.
