UNSPSC 42321704: Femoral heads

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a femoral head in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Femoral heads under 21 CFR 888.3353 and under FDA product code LZO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321704 Femoral heads is a Commodity code covering orthopedic implant components—specifically, the ball-shaped prosthetic head component used in hip and joint replacement surgeries. State and local government procurement under this code centers on purchasing orthopedic implants and related hardware for public hospital systems, county medical centers, and outpatient surgical facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily public health authorities and county hospital systems rather than general-purpose municipalities or school districts; these are specialized healthcare procurement activities driven by acute-care facility needs and capital projects.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in California and the Upper Midwest through cooperative purchasing vehicles and direct health-system procurements. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, requiring ISO 13485 certification and five years' experience supporting acute-care hospitals with systems compatible across multiple implant manufacturers—this signals that orthopedic hardware suppliers compete on both the implant side and on ancillary extraction and removal services. NASPO ValuePoint, the South Dakota-administered multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 1433 for medical supplies with an November 9, 2026 response deadline, establishing master agreements available to state and local entities across multiple jurisdictions; the RFP does not itemize commodity breakdowns in the available posting. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services with an October 20, 2026 deadline, intended to serve Sourcewell Participating Entities. The code shows limited standalone recent activity under the femoral-head designation itself; most orthopedic implant procurement flows through broader medical-supply cooperative vehicles or through health-system-specific capital projects rather than as discrete component purchases.
