UNSPSC 42321612: Spinal sleeve rings or end caps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a spinal sleeve ring or end cap in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Spinal sleeve rings or end caps under 21 CFR 882.5030 and under FDA product code JXH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42321612 Spinal sleeve rings or end caps, a Commodity code, describes specialized orthopedic implant components used in spinal surgical procedures. State and local governments acquire these products primarily through healthcare systems, public hospitals, and surgical facilities that purchase them as part of acute-care operations or capital equipment acquisitions for medical centers. The issuing bodies include county and state healthcare authorities, hospital systems, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple public-sector entities to establish master agreements and contracting solutions for medical supplies and orthopedic equipment.

Recent activity under this code is sparse and indirect. The most closely aligned opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which addresses the broader orthopedic implant ecosystem; however, this solicitation focuses on service delivery and equipment extraction rather than implant components themselves. Two cooperative-purchasing solicitations—NASPO ValuePoint's master-agreement RFP for medical supplies (response due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products RFP (response due October 20, 2026)—establish frameworks within which spinal implant categories could be included, but neither explicitly names spinal sleeve rings or end caps in available documentation. A California state furniture procurement for an outpatient building and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment initiative do not align with this code's scope. The code shows minimal direct solicitation activity in recent state and local notices; opportunities tend to emerge through broader medical-supply cooperative vehicles rather than standalone implant procurements.
