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, a Commodity code, shows a marked mismatch between its nominal scope—orthopedic implant components—and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The four most recent solicitations span furniture supply for a California outpatient building, orthopedic hardware extraction system services at a San Mateo County medical center, law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career technical education resources for a Texas school district. Only the San Mateo Medical Center opportunity—requesting orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures—aligns with the code's stated product category. The code shows little relevant recent activity for actual humeral head implants or related orthopedic components in the state and local procurement landscape.

The two opportunities with any orthopedic relevance come from Northern California. San Mateo Medical Center posted RFP 666002526252 on July 1, 2026, seeking proposals for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems with a three-year contract term, requiring ISO 13485 certification, $1 million general liability and products liability per occurrence, and $5 million cyber liability. The solicitation emphasizes universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, five years of documented experience supporting acute-care hospitals, and technical support availability within Northern California. The remaining three opportunities—the California furniture RFB (due July 28, 2026), the Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP across five Washington counties and broader participating entities (due June 16, 2026), and Klein ISD's CTE and Advanced Academics RFP in Texas (due June 5, 2026)—are not related to the humeral head product category and appear to be miscoded.
