UNSPSC 42321519: Orthopedic bolts

Surgical implant bolts used in various orthopedic procedures.

UNSPSC 42321519 Orthopedic bolts is a Commodity-tier code that covers orthopedic hardware components used in surgical implants and musculoskeletal repair, though state and local procurement activity under this specific code is limited and heavily skewed toward broader medical-supplies cooperative-purchasing agreements rather than direct procurement of bolts as discrete commodities. The issuing bodies posting under or adjacent to this code include state health agencies, county public hospitals, and cooperative-purchasing platforms serving multiple state and local jurisdictions. San Mateo Medical Center, a California county hospital system, recently solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services — a related scope spanning the delivery, support, and technical management of orthopedic implant extraction equipment compatible with multiple manufacturers' hardware systems, including screws and intramedullary nails. Broader cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell are establishing master agreements for medical supplies and physical health products that may encompass orthopedic components as part of larger commodity baskets rather than as line-item SKUs.

Recent activity is concentrated in California and across the cooperative-purchasing networks administered by South Dakota (NASPO ValuePoint) and Minnesota (Sourcewell). NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies, due November 9, 2026, and Sourcewell's RFP for physical health products, due October 20, 2026, both establish contracting vehicles open to state and local entities across multiple states. The San Mateo Medical Center orthopedic hardware extraction system RFP (Solicitation 666002526252), due July 1, 2026, required five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and $1,000,000 general and products liability coverage per occurrence, with a three-year contract term and Northern California service-and-support availability. This solicitation applies a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and enforces the County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment. Standalone solicitations for orthopedic bolts as discrete products appear infrequent; procurement is predominantly channeled through cooperative medical-supplies agreements and healthcare facility capital projects rather than direct specification of bolt SKUs.
