UNSPSC 42321713: Acetabular screws

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

UNSPSC 42321713 Acetabular screws, a Commodity code, nominally covers orthopedic implant fasteners used in hip replacement and reconstruction surgery, yet the recent state and local activity tagged under this code shows little alignment with that product category. The four most recent opportunities posted under 42321713 span furniture procurement for a California healthcare outpatient building, orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services from San Mateo Medical Center, a multistate law enforcement equipment cooperative from Sourcewell, and a Texas school district's career technical education instructional resources RFP—none of which involve acetabular screws or implant hardware supply. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the source data or a broader tagging issue within state and local procurement systems. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in orthopedic fastener supply.

Geographic activity across the four opportunities spans California (two postings), Minnesota/Washington (cooperative), and Texas, with no pattern that reflects orthopedic implant procurement. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction systems (due July 1, 2026) is the closest match to hip surgery infrastructure, but it addresses removal and extraction services rather than primary implant supply. State and local purchasers treating acetabular screws as a discrete commodity line may be limited or may use alternative classification schemes for orthopedic inventory procurement through hospital supply agreements or group purchasing organizations outside traditional RFP channels. Vendors with orthopedic fastener product lines targeting state and local acute-care hospital systems should verify current UNSPSC tagging before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
