UNSPSC 42321814: Tibial axles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tibial axle in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321814 Tibial axles, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code are a cooperative-purchasing medical-supplies master-agreement solicitation, a physical-health-products cooperative procurement, an outpatient-building furniture supply for a state healthcare capital project, an orthopedic-hardware-extraction-system services RFP from a county hospital, and a law-enforcement-equipment cooperative procurement. Only the orthopedic-hardware-removal solicitation from San Mateo Medical Center relates tangentially to orthopedic supplies; the others (medical supplies broadly, furniture, law enforcement equipment) fall outside the scope of tibial axles as a product category. The mismatch suggests the code may be applied inconsistently by state and local procurement offices or used as a catch-all for related medical-device and surgical-supply categories.

San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic-hardware-removal and extraction-system RFP (666002526252), due July 1, 2026, represents the only recent opportunity clearly connected to orthopedic implant and hardware services. The procurement sought vendor proposals for as-needed delivery and technical support of orthopedic hardware-removal systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, with a three-year contract term, local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent, and required ISO 13485:2016 certification. Proposers needed five years of acute-care hospital experience and Northern California technical-support availability. San Mateo County applied Section 504 accessibility, HIPAA, living-wage (currently $17.00 per hour), and corporate-compliance requirements. Beyond this single opportunity in California, the recent posting history offers no additional state or local solicitations specifically targeting tibial axles or comparable orthopedic-component procurement.
