UNSPSC 42321702 Acetabular cup shells is a Commodity code that state and local health care purchasers use to procure orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems, surgical instrumentation, and related implant-compatible equipment for acute-care hospitals and outpatient surgical facilities. The source shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope (acetabular cup shells, a specific hip prosthetic component) and the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP (666002526252) requested orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures, including delivery, technical support, and case support for removal of orthopedic implants, screws, and intramedullary nails compatible with multiple implant manufacturers—work that relates to extraction and removal rather than cup shells themselves. The code shows no other recent opportunities directly targeting acetabular cup shells or hip prosthetic components in the state and local procurement block provided. Beyond the San Mateo Medical Center solicitation, the source includes opportunities from the State of California (furniture supply for an outpatient building), Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties (law enforcement equipment), and Klein Independent School District in Texas (instructional resources)—none of which relate to the code's orthopedic hardware scope.

San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware RFP is the only source-supported opportunity directly relevant to this code. The solicitation required proposers to demonstrate five years of experience providing orthopedic hardware extraction systems with ISO 13485:2016 certification, capability to support acute-care hospitals, and service availability within Northern California; the contract term was three years with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The proposal deadline was July 1, 2026, with evaluation criteria weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). The code shows limited recent activity and a mismatch between its nominal orthopedic implant scope and actual state and local procurement demand captured in this source.
