UNSPSC 42321701: Acetabular cups

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an acetabular cup in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Acetabular cups under 21 CFR 888.3358 and under FDA product code LPH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321701 Acetabular cups, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies orthopedic implant components—specifically the cup-shaped socket portion of hip replacement prosthetics—but the posted opportunities tagged under it do not center on acetabular cup procurement. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP #666002526252 (due July 1, 2026) solicits orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services for surgical procedures, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years of experience, ISO 13485 certification, and capability to support extraction of orthopedic implants, screws, and intramedullary nails across multiple manufacturers; this focuses on extraction instrumentation and technical support rather than implant components themselves. The remaining three opportunities—State of California furniture supply for an outpatient building, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative, and Klein ISD's Career Technical Education resources—are unrelated to acetabular cups or orthopedic implants entirely and appear to be miscategorized under this UNSPSC code in the source data.

No recent state and local contract opportunities directly soliciting acetabular cups themselves are present in the available record. The San Mateo Medical Center opportunity represents the only procurement with substantive orthopedic content, but it targets extraction systems and technical support services rather than implant supply. Geographic activity is limited to California (San Mateo County and State of California) for orthopedic-adjacent work, with the remaining opportunities spanning Minnesota, Washington, and Texas but bearing no relevance to orthopedic implants. This code appears dormant for acetabular cup procurement at the state and local level, or procurement under this code is not being captured in current public-notice channels.
