UNSPSC 42321602: Spinal cables or cerclage bands

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

UNSPSC 42321602 Spinal cables or cerclage bands is a Commodity code that state and local health care systems procure for orthopedic surgical procedures, specifically for hardware removal, extraction, and implant applications. The recent opportunities block shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope: the four recent solicitations posted between April and July 2026 span furniture supply for an outpatient building (California), orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (San Mateo County Medical Center), law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and other jurisdictions), and career technical education instructional resources (Klein ISD, Texas). Only the San Mateo Medical Center opportunity touches orthopedic hardware in any form, and it solicits complete extraction systems and technical support services rather than spinal cables or cerclage bands as discrete products. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity in its narrow product category.

San Mateo County Medical Center (California) is the only issuing body in the block that aligns with the code's scope. That opportunity (solicitation 666002526252, posted July 1, 2026, RFP due July 1, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.) sought proposals for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, capability to support multiple implant manufacturers, and three-year contract terms with technical support available within Northern California. A local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent applied under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The remaining three opportunities—California furniture procurement, Minnesota-coordinated law enforcement equipment, and Texas school district CTE resources—do not represent buying activity under this Commodity code and suggest the code assignment in the source data does not reflect actual purchasing patterns in state and local procurement for spinal cables or cerclage bands.
