UNSPSC 42321703: Acetabular cup liners

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an acetabular cup liner in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Acetabular cup liners 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 42321703 Acetabular cup liners is a Commodity code that encompasses orthopedic surgical implants and associated extraction or removal systems. State and local governments procure these products primarily through hospital systems and county health departments for acute-care surgical programs. The recent opportunities block shows activity weighted toward cooperative-purchasing vehicles and healthcare facility procurement rather than direct commodity acquisition. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 solicitation for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (RFP 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) illustrates the work: the county sought three-year contracts for systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, $1,000,000 general and products liability coverage, and technical support available in Northern California. The broader medical-supplies cooperative vehicles—NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products RFP (due October 20, 2026)—signal that state and local entities are establishing master agreements for medical commodities including orthopedic supplies through collective purchasing, though the posting summaries do not itemize acetabular cup liners specifically.

Issuing bodies include county hospital systems (San Mateo County), state health departments via cooperative purchasing vehicles (South Dakota administering NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota-based Sourcewell), and multi-state purchasing consortia. Recent activity centers in California (San Mateo County outpatient-building furniture and orthopedic services) and across the NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell membership footprints spanning dozens of states. The cooperative-purchasing structure means that a single RFP award reaches hundreds of potential using jurisdictions rather than a single buyer. No recent opportunities in the block show direct procurement of acetabular cup liners as a standalone commodity; the code's most concrete recent signal is San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware extraction systems procurement, which touches implant removal but not implant supply itself.
