UNSPSC 42321709 Hip hemiarthroplasty prosthesis is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract definition — a surgical hip replacement prosthesis — does not match the recent opportunities posted under it, which span furniture supply for a healthcare outpatient building, orthopedic hardware extraction system services, law enforcement equipment, and career technical education instructional resources. Only one of the four recent solicitations (the San Mateo Medical Center orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services RFP) touches orthopedic medical equipment at all, and that contract seeks extraction tools and support services for implant removal rather than prosthetic devices themselves. The furniture, law enforcement, and education solicitations appear to be miscoded or represent a significant categorization error in the state and local posting systems.

The single relevant opportunity on file is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP #666002526252, posted July 1, 2026, with proposals due the same date, seeking orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures over a three-year term. The County of San Mateo applied a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under Chapter 2.89 of the County Ordinance Code, required ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent, and mandated five years of prior experience supporting acute-care hospitals with universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. Proposers faced evaluation on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). The mismatch between the code's ostensible scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests that state and local buyers are either miscoding hip prosthesis procurement or that this code sees virtually no direct procurement activity in the state and local market as of mid-2026.
