UNSPSC 42321607: Spinal hooks

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a spinal hook in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Spinal hooks under 21 CFR 888.3050 and under FDA product code KWP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42321607 Spinal hooks, a Commodity code, encompasses surgical hardware used in spinal fusion and correction procedures within hospital and surgical-center settings. State and local governments procure spinal hooks primarily through health systems, public hospitals, and county medical centers that perform orthopedic and spine surgeries. The work involves supply and delivery of implantable spinal instrumentation meeting clinical specifications for material composition, biocompatibility, sterility, and compatibility with broader spinal implant systems. Health systems issuing under this code include county hospitals (such as San Mateo Medical Center), state health departments, and public hospital systems that perform acute-care orthopedic procedures. Cooperative-purchasing vehicles—NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell—also use the code to establish master agreements that allow multiple state and local entities to aggregate demand and negotiate favorable pricing from qualified manufacturers.

The recent opportunity landscape shows activity across California and multi-state cooperative vehicles. San Mateo Medical Center issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (proposals due July 1, 2026), requiring five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, Northern California technical support, and compliance with Section 504 accessibility, HIPAA, and county living-wage standards ($17.00 per hour). NASPO ValuePoint posted RFP 1433 on September 25, 2026 for medical supplies including related orthopedic categories, with proposals due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, administered by South Dakota and open to state and local entities across multiple states through cooperative purchasing. Sourcewell (Minnesota) also posted physical health products RFP 26RFP102026 with an October 20, 2026 deadline, available to participating entities nationwide. A California state outpatient-building furniture solicitation (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) included healthcare casework and seating but does not reflect spinal-hardware procurement directly.
