UNSPSC 42321708: Femoral hip stems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a femoral hip stem in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Femoral hip stems under 21 CFR 888.3390 and under FDA product code KWY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321708 Femoral hip stems is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with orthopedic implant procurement. Of the four recent solicitations tagged to the code, only one addresses orthopedic hardware directly — San Mateo Medical Center's request for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services — while the others cover unrelated categories: office furniture for a California outpatient building, law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career and technical education resources through a Texas school district. The orthopedic extraction-systems opportunity does not seek femoral hip stems themselves but rather the instruments, technical support, and retrieval services needed to remove existing orthopedic implants during revision procedures.

San Mateo County's solicitation (666002526252) is the only recent opportunity with material relevance to orthopedic hardware procurement. Issued by San Mateo Medical Center on July 1, 2026, it calls for as-needed orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, with a three-year contract term, a Northern California service requirement, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code. Evaluation emphasizes project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points); general liability, products liability, and cyber liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 per occurrence are required. Beyond San Mateo County's activity, the code shows no other recent state or local femoral hip stem procurement signals. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either misclassification in the posting systems or that femoral hip stems as a discrete commodity do not drive material state and local purchasing volume currently.
