UNSPSC 42321600: Spinal implants

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in spinal implantation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42321600 Spinal implants is a Class code covering orthopedic hardware and implant systems procured by state and local health systems, medical centers, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles that serve multiple jurisdictions. State and local governments buy spinal implants and related extraction and removal services through master-agreement frameworks and direct procurements, with recent activity showing demand for hardware-removal systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, ISO 13485 certification, and technical support for acute-care hospital operations. Issuing bodies include county-operated public hospitals and health systems, state health departments, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell that establish master agreements on behalf of multiple participating state and local entities. The scope reflects both supply of implants themselves and the specialized services, instrumentation, and technical expertise required to support their deployment and removal in surgical settings.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and the Upper Midwest through cooperative vehicles, with San Mateo Medical Center (County of San Mateo) issuing RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, requiring ISO 13485 certification, five years of experience with acute-care hospital support, and three-year contract terms with significant insurance requirements including $5 million cyber liability. NASPO ValuePoint posted RFP 26RFP1433 for medical supplies (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services (due October 20, 2026), both cooperative vehicles through which state and local entities purchase collectively; neither posting specified whether spinal implants are included in the final awarded categories. The San Mateo opportunity explicitly names orthopedic hardware, screws, intramedullary nails, and implant-extraction systems as core scope, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), and local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available under County ordinance.
