UNSPSC 42321617: Spinal staples

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

UNSPSC 42321617 Spinal staples is a Commodity code that covers surgical implant hardware and related extraction or removal systems for orthopedic procedures. State and local governments—primarily public hospital systems and healthcare facilities—procure spinal and orthopedic implants, instrumentation, and associated surgical services under this code. The recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring either the physical hardware itself (implants and fasteners) or the specialized equipment and technical services required to remove or extract orthopedic hardware during surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include public hospital systems such as San Mateo Medical Center, state capital project offices (California), and affiliated healthcare facility networks. Procurement spans both supply contracts for new implants and devices and service agreements for extraction system support on an as-needed basis for acute-care surgical environments.

San Mateo County issued an RFP (666002526252) due July 1, 2026 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on a three-year term, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of demonstrated experience with acute-care hospital support, universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support availability; the County offers a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The State of California issued an RFB (RFBIS27200016) due July 28, 2026 for furniture and equipment delivery to an outpatient building, which the system tagged to this code but appears unrelated to spinal hardware procurement. Recent activity is concentrated in California; the code shows limited documented state and local procurement volume overall, suggesting either low purchasing frequency or a narrow customer base among public healthcare providers.
