UNSPSC 42242001: Lower extremity prosthetic devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a lower extremity device in a prosthetic procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Lower extremity prosthetic devices under 21 CFR 888.3350 and under FDA product code JDI. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42242001 Lower extremity prosthetic devices is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure lower-limb prosthetics and related orthopedic extraction equipment for patient care and surgical support. Recent solicitations show that the code captures both direct prosthetic-device supply and orthopedic hardware removal services used in acute-care hospital and outpatient settings. Issuing bodies under this code include state health departments, county hospital systems, and public medical centers. San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated acute-care hospital system, and the State of California have posted solicitations recently. The scope spans prosthetic fitting supplies, surgical extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, and associated technical and case support for orthopedic procedures.

Geographic activity centers on California, where both San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County) and the State of California have posted recent opportunities. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP (#666002526252) on July 1, 2026 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, requiring five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, Northern California technical support availability, and a three-year contract term; proposers faced a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The State of California posted a bid request (RFB-IS-27200016) on July 9, 2026 due July 28, 2026 for furniture and related outpatient-building supplies, though the posted scope description emphasizes casework and healthcare facility furnishings rather than prosthetic devices directly, suggesting a potential code-assignment mismatch. Recent opportunities in this code show limited activity, and the majority of posted solicitations appear unrelated to the nominal prosthetic-device scope.
