UNSPSC 42320000: Orthopedic surgical implants

In this classification, this family includes medical equipment and components, used in the medical treatment focused on surgical implantations.

UNSPSC 42320000 Orthopedic surgical implants, a Family code, encompasses orthopedic implant products and related extraction or removal services that state and local health systems, particularly public hospitals and hospital networks, procure for surgical procedures. The recent procurement activity shows two distinct purchasing patterns: cooperative-purchasing vehicles seeking to establish master agreements with orthopedic and medical-supply vendors for use by multiple state and local government entities, and direct health-system procurements for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction services. Issuing bodies include state departments administering cooperative purchasing (South Dakota, Minnesota), county health authorities operating acute-care hospitals and clinics, state capital project offices managing healthcare facility construction or renovation, and special-purpose local government units like Sourcewell that aggregate demand on behalf of their member entities. The scope of work ranges from supply-chain contracting for orthopedic implants and related medical supplies through cooperative vehicles to specialized surgical-support services such as orthopedic hardware extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, instrumentation retrieval, and case support for safe removal of screws, intramedullary nails, and other orthopedic hardware.

Recent activity concentrates in California and the Upper Midwest. San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital system in Northern California, issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, requiring five years of demonstrated experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, technical support availability within Northern California, a three-year contract term, and insurance including $1,000,000 general and products liability, $5,000,000 cyber liability, and compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, living-wage ordinances, and county vendor-access policies. NASPO ValuePoint, administering from South Dakota, solicited proposals for medical supplies including orthopedic categories through RFP 1433 due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time via Idaho's procurement system, seeking master agreements to leverage collective purchasing volume across multiple states. Sourcewell, the Minnesota service cooperative, posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services due October 20, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time for use by its Participating Entities. The State of California procured furniture for an outpatient building project under RFB-IS-27200016 due July 28, 2026, which appears orthopedic-code-tagged but addresses healthcare facility casework and seating rather than orthopedic implants or surgical services; this represents a code-taxonomy mismatch and does not reflect orthopedic implant procurement activity.
