UNSPSC 42321609: Spinal rods

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a spinal rod in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Spinal rods 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 42321609 Spinal rods is a Commodity-level code that represents a discrete medical device category, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The four recent opportunities in the dataset span furniture supply for a healthcare outpatient building (State of California), orthopedic hardware extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), and career technical education instructional resources (Klein Independent School District, Texas). Only the San Mateo Medical Center opportunity touches orthopedic hardware at all, and it addresses removal and extraction services rather than spinal rod implants themselves. The mismatch between code and solicitation suggests either tagging error or that spinal rod procurement through state and local bodies does not generate frequent competitive solicitations visible in recent public notice activity.

The two opportunities with any healthcare procurement relevance originate in California—the State of California's furniture RFB (due July 28, 2026) and San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction systems (due July 1, 2026). San Mateo's scope requires five years' experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, capability to support acute-care hospitals, Northern California service availability, and a three-year contract term with mandatory insurance including $1,000,000 general liability and $5,000,000 cyber liability. The state furniture bid is drawn from capital project funding and includes CBE certification and state set-aside policy language. No other recent state or local opportunities in the dataset address spinal rods or spinal implant procurement directly. If spinal rod supply is a procurement need for state and local healthcare systems, it is either sourced through group purchasing organizations, cooperative agreements, or manufacturer direct relationships rather than through open competitive solicitation.
