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 (Family) covers orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems for acute-care hospitals performing surgical procedures to safely extract implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. Recent state and local solicitations show that public hospitals and health systems procure extraction-system services on an as-needed or multi-year contract basis, requiring vendors to deliver technical support, instrumentation retrieval, and case support within defined regional service areas. The issuing bodies are specialized healthcare institutions — notably San Mateo Medical Center in California — rather than broad procurement offices or education agencies. The code demonstrates narrow, clinically specific demand focused on orthopedic surgical support services rather than the sale of implant devices themselves.

San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP in July 2026 (due July 1, 2026) for three-year orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, requiring proposers to demonstrate five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal extraction-system compatibility, and Northern California-based technical support; the procurement applied a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and required $1 million general liability, $1 million products liability, and $5 million cyber liability insurance. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, where San Mateo County's public hospital system represents the most recent tracked opportunity under this code. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume overall; the three non-orthopedic opportunities in the source block (California furniture, Minnesota law-enforcement equipment, and Texas school-district educational resources) are mismatched to the code's nominal scope and do not reflect genuine market activity in orthopedic surgical implant procurement.
