UNSPSC 42321500: Orthopedic trauma implants

In this classification, this class includes products, components, accessories, and supplies utilized in orthopedic trauma implant based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42321500 Orthopedic trauma implants is a Class code describing surgical implants and associated hardware used to treat bone fractures and orthopedic injuries. Recent state and local opportunities show that government healthcare systems solicit under this code for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services—equipment, technical support, and case management needed to safely retrieve implanted screws, intramedullary nails, and related hardware during revision surgeries. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services illustrates the actual scope: vendors must provide universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, deliver instruments to surgical sites, and supply trained technical support during procedures. State and local health systems—chiefly public hospitals and county-operated acute-care facilities—are the primary issuing bodies. These buyers require vendors to hold ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent, demonstrate five or more years of direct hospital experience, and maintain substantial insurance including general liability and products liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence.

San Mateo Medical Center, operating in Northern California, posted RFP 666002526252 on July 1, 2026, seeking orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis with proposals due July 1, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The contract term spans three years from execution. Service and technical support must be available within Northern California, and evaluation criteria emphasize project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Contractors must comply with Section 504 accessibility requirements, HIPAA privacy and security standards, San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance (currently $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment), and a Corporate Compliance Code of Conduct governing health care program compliance and anti-kickback obligations. The code shows limited recent activity; most opportunities in the source block are unrelated to orthopedic trauma implants and appear to be misclassified under this UNSPSC category.
