UNSPSC 42321706 Femoral hip stem extensions, a Commodity code, encompasses orthopedic surgical implant systems and related extraction or removal instrumentation that state and local healthcare systems procure for surgical procedures. State and local governments purchasing under this code include public hospitals, medical centers, and county healthcare systems acquiring orthopedic hardware and support services for acute care delivery. The scope includes femoral hip stems themselves as well as compatible extraction and removal systems, instrumentation, and technical support required for safe implant retrieval during revision or removal procedures. Procurement bodies soliciting under this code or closely related commodity families include San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated public hospital serving all residents regardless of ability to pay) and broader cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell that aggregate demand across multiple state and local entities.

Recent activity centers on California and Minnesota. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 for Orthopedic Hardware Removal and Extraction System Services, due July 1, 2026, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years of experience with acute-care hospital support, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal extraction-system capability across multiple implant manufacturers, and Northern California service availability; the contract term is three years, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). NASPO ValuePoint (South Dakota administering) issued RFP 26RFP1433 for Medical Supplies with a November 9, 2026 deadline, establishing master agreements across multiple states through cooperative purchasing; Sourcewell (Minnesota) issued RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services, due October 20, 2026, targeting contracting solutions for Participating Entities across multiple jurisdictions. These cooperative vehicles indicate demand consolidation at the state and regional level, though the available postings do not isolate femoral hip stem extensions as discrete line items within the broader medical-supplies and physical-health-products solicitations.
