UNSPSC 42321709: Hip hemiarthroplasty prosthesis

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a hip hemiarthroplasty prosthesis in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321709 Hip hemiarthroplasty prosthesis is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, is being procured primarily through cooperative-purchasing vehicles and master-agreement frameworks rather than individual agency direct buys. State and local governments acquire hip hemiarthroplasty prostheses as part of broader medical-supplies and physical health products contracting strategies designed to leverage collective purchasing volume across multiple jurisdictions. The issuing bodies pursuing this code include state cooperative entities (NASPO ValuePoint, administering through South Dakota; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), and individual health systems such as San Mateo Medical Center operating within counties. These entities structure procurements to establish master agreements and contracting solutions available to multiple participating agencies, school districts, and public entities rather than standalone institutional purchases, reflecting the trend toward regionalized or statewide procurement vehicles in healthcare commodity management.

Recent activity centers on NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies (proposals due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services (proposals due October 20, 2026), both cooperative-purchasing frameworks that would encompass orthopedic implant categories including hip prostheses. San Mateo Medical Center in California issued a separate procurement (RFP 666002526252, closed July 1, 2026) for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, indicating clinical demand for implant-related support services in acute-care settings. Geographic spread is limited in the recent record to South Dakota (NASPO ValuePoint administering state), Minnesota (Sourcewell headquarters), and Northern California (San Mateo County), with Sourcewell's framework extending availability across multiple states. The lack of specific line-item solicitations naming hip hemiarthroplasty prostheses explicitly suggests that this Commodity code is transacted primarily as part of rolled-up medical-supplies or orthopedic-implant family-level master agreements rather than as standalone product tenders.
