UNSPSC 42321902: Humeral heads

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a humeral head in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Humeral heads under 21 CFR 888.3660 and under FDA product code KWS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321902 Humeral heads is a Commodity-tier code that state and local governments acquire as orthopedic surgical implants and components for acute-care hospital and surgical-center use. Recent solicitations show procurement focused on orthopedic hardware systems—implants, extraction instruments, and removal equipment—rather than isolated humeral head components alone. State and local buyers include county hospital systems, cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state public-sector coalitions, and state capital projects. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures, specifying universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers and requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent. NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell, both cooperative-purchasing vehicles serving state and local government entities, have recently solicited master agreements and contracting solutions for medical supplies and physical health products that encompass orthopedic components within broader health-care procurement frameworks.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than traditional single-jurisdiction procurements. San Mateo County's RFP (due July 1, 2026) sought orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services with a three-year contract term and required five years of experience, ISO certification, and Northern California-based technical support; contractors must maintain general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence, and comply with California's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour. NASPO ValuePoint's medical supplies master-agreement RFP (proposals due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products RFP (proposals due October 20, 2026) do not detail orthopedic-specific commodity breakdowns but establish statewide and multi-state contracting vehicles through which state and local entities will procure medical and health-care supplies, including implants. The code shows limited recent standalone solicitation activity for humeral heads or other isolated orthopedic components; most procurement flows through cooperative purchasing vehicles or as part of broader hospital capital or surgical-services contracts.
