UNSPSC 42321620: Spinal bolts

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

UNSPSC 42321620 Spinal bolts, a Commodity code, does not show recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code include cooperative-purchasing master agreements for broad medical supplies (NASPO ValuePoint), physical health products and related services (Sourcewell), outpatient building furniture (State of California), orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell) — none of which represent spinal bolts as a distinct product line. The orthopedic hardware opportunity from San Mateo Medical Center involves extraction and removal systems for existing implants rather than procurement of the implants themselves. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited suggests that spinal bolts are either tagged inconsistently in state and local procurement systems or are being purchased as part of broader medical-supply or orthopedic-service aggregations rather than as a standalone commodity.

The issuing bodies in the recent record include state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint in South Dakota, Sourcewell in Minnesota), a state agency (California Department of General Services), a county health system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), and Sourcewell facilitating purchases for participating entities across multiple states and jurisdictions. Geographic activity centers on California, Minnesota, South Dakota, and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state). Without recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs specifically naming spinal bolts as the primary procurement objective, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive or misclassified in current state and local procurement records and monitor cooperative purchasing aggregations under broader orthopedic implant or surgical-supply categories.
