UNSPSC 42321700: Hip joint implants

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in hip joint implantation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42321700 Hip joint implants is a Class code that in practice captures a much broader range of medical equipment, instrumentation, and surgical support services than the code name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code include orthopedic hardware extraction systems for surgical use, vein-finder ultrasound equipment for oncology infusion lines, furniture and casework for healthcare outpatient facilities, and law enforcement and career-technical education resources—a pattern indicating significant tag misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. Where the code does touch orthopedic work, the focus is on extraction and removal services rather than implant supply itself. State and local buyers using this code include counties (San Mateo County, California), hospital districts (Halifax Health in Florida), municipal hospitals (San Mateo Medical Center), and cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning multiple states (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions).

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across California, Florida, Washington, Minnesota, and Texas, with no dominant concentration. Representative opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (due July 1, 2026), requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485 certification, and universal compatibility with multiple implant manufacturers, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points); Halifax Health's ITB for a vein-finder system for oncology (due March 9, 2026), specifying BD Prevue II console, probe, and accessories with twelve-month minimum warranty; and a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) serving participating entities across multiple states and Canada through a cooperative contracting vehicle. The code shows sparse relevant recent activity under its stated orthopedic scope, with most opportunities plainly unrelated to hip joint implants.
