UNSPSC 42321614: Spinal nuts

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

UNSPSC 42321614 Spinal nuts is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit spinal nuts primarily through cooperative-purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions — most recently NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell — rather than as standalone procurements. The recent opportunities show spinal nuts being procured as part of broader medical-supplies master agreements and physical health products contracting solutions, not as discrete fastener line items. The code sits within the wider scope of orthopedic and surgical hardware, where state and local health systems, county medical centers, and cooperative purchasing groups act as the primary buyers. Work solicited under this code reflects procurement of medical-grade spinal fastening systems for hospital surgical inventory, orthopedic implant support, and trauma surgery applications.

Recent activity spans multiple states and cooperative purchasing platforms. NASPO ValuePoint posted RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies on September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, administering through South Dakota and open to state and local entities nationwide. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, posted RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and related Services on September 1, 2026 with proposals due October 20, 2026, establishing a contracting solution for Sourcewell Participating Entities across multiple states. San Mateo County (California) posted a solicitation for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on July 1, 2026, reflecting hospital-level procurement of surgical orthopedic equipment. The code shows limited standalone visibility; spinal nuts appear primarily within aggregate medical-supplies master agreements rather than as sole-source category procurements, suggesting that vendors pursuing this code should focus on cooperative purchasing vehicles and hospital system RFPs where orthopedic inventory is bundled within larger medical-supply contracts.
