UNSPSC 42321611 Spinal plates is a Commodity code that captures orthopedic surgical hardware and extraction systems for spinal and related bone surgery, as reflected in active state and local health-system procurement. State and local governments buy spinal implants, removal and extraction systems, and associated surgical instrumentation through this code, with purchases driven primarily by public hospitals, county health systems, and outpatient surgical facilities. The issuing bodies are predominantly county medical centers and state health departments procuring equipment and supplies for acute-care surgical operations.

Recent activity centers on Northern California and the Upper Midwest. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP on July 1, 2026 (due July 1, 2026) for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, requiring five years of documented experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal extraction-system compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers, technical support within Northern California, and a three-year contract term; the evaluation weighted project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). The State of California issued an RFB on July 9, 2026 (due July 28, 2026) for healthcare furniture and related supplies under RFB-IS-27200016, which includes hospital-grade casework and surgical-environment seating but is primarily furniture rather than spinal hardware. Geographic spread is concentrated in California, with no recent multi-state or regional cooperative opportunities identified under this specific code in the source material.
