UNSPSC 42321906: Glenoid fixation components

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

UNSPSC 42321906 Glenoid fixation components is a Commodity code that describes surgical implant hardware used in shoulder joint repair procedures, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for glenoid-specific components. Instead, purchasing entities are buying orthopedic hardware through broader medical-supplies cooperative agreements and healthcare facility procurement vehicles that encompass multiple implant types and extraction services. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFP 666002526252) represents the closest direct activity, seeking vendors capable of removing orthopedic implants including screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware compatible with multiple manufacturers' systems for an acute-care hospital setting. More commonly, state and local entities are establishing master agreements and contracting solutions for general medical supplies and physical health products through cooperative purchasing vehicles—NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products RFP (due October 20, 2026)—that bundle glenoid fixation components alongside broader surgical and medical inventories rather than procuring them as standalone line items.

Issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to this code span state government agencies (California), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, San Mateo County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving state and local entities nationwide (NASPO ValuePoint administered by South Dakota, Sourcewell by Minnesota). Geographic spread includes California, Minnesota, South Dakota, and multi-state cooperative membership. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services remains the most concrete recent opportunity directly addressing orthopedic implant management, with proposals due July 1, 2026, evaluating vendor approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), and requiring five years of experience supporting acute-care hospitals, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California technical support capability. Cooperative purchasing master agreements dominate recent activity; these vehicles do not publish line-item commodity breakdowns in their RFP notices, making it difficult to determine current volume or pricing trends for glenoid-specific components within them.
