UNSPSC 42321715 Bi polar or uni polar hip components (Commodity) describes orthopedic surgical implants and related extraction or removal systems that state and local health systems, public hospitals, and cooperative-purchasing entities source for joint-replacement procedures and surgical support. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers source orthopedic implants directly through individual hospital procurement, cooperative-purchasing master agreements, and equipment-service contracts; the code also appears to capture orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems required for surgical procedures involving implant compatibility with multiple manufacturer standards. Public hospital systems and county health authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) that aggregate demand across multiple state and local entities. San Mateo Medical Center exemplifies direct hospital procurement, while NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell represent multi-state cooperative contracting models that establish master agreements for state and local participants to leverage collective volume for favorable pricing and terms.

Recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal compatibility across implant manufacturers, and Northern California technical support, with a three-year contract term and a 5 to 10 percent local-business preference available under County Ordinance; NASPO ValuePoint's November 2026 RFP 1433 establishing master agreements for medical supplies across multiple states with South Dakota as the administering state; and Sourcewell's cooperative-purchasing solicitations for physical health products and related services (due October 2026) available to Participating Entities nationwide. Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County), the Upper Midwest (Minnesota through Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint), and South Dakota. Orthopedic hardware extraction and removal systems represent the most concrete recent solicitation specific to the code's scope, emphasizing surgical compatibility, infection control, performance durability, and integration with acute-care hospital workflows.
