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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation do not reflect orthopedic implant components or musculoskeletal hardware. Instead, the recent solicitations show a mismatch: the code is generating activity in hospital furniture procurement, surgical extraction services, law enforcement equipment frameworks, and educational resources — none of which align with tibial axle manufacturing or supply. This divergence between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that either the code is being applied inconsistently across jurisdictions or the source data reflects tagging errors in the underlying procurement systems.

Of the four recent opportunities, one is directly unrelated (a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP spanning multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities with no tibial-axle connection), while the remaining three — the State of California outpatient building furniture bid (due July 28, 2026), San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services RFP (due July 1, 2026), and Klein Independent School District's CTE and advanced academics instructional resources RFP (due June 5, 2026) — contain no tibial axle procurement language. The code shows recent activity in California and Texas, as well as Minnesota-coordinated multi-state cooperative purchasing, but the content bears no decision-relevant relationship to the stated commodity category. Firms evaluating this code should verify category alignment with their target agencies before pursuing, as the current tagging suggests limited reliability for sourcing actual tibial axle opportunities.
