UNSPSC 42321715 Bi-polar or uni-polar hip components, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement that aligns with its nominal scope of orthopedic implant hardware. The single closely related solicitation posted in the recent-opportunities block—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (due July 1, 2026)—addresses surgical extraction tools and support services rather than hip implant components themselves. The other three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve healthcare facility furniture (State of California), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and school district instructional resources (Klein ISD), none of which pertain to hip prosthetics or orthopedic implant hardware. The code appears to see limited direct procurement activity from state and local health systems for bi-polar or uni-polar hip component procurement itself.

San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic extraction solicitation, issued in early July 2026, represents the only recent state or local opportunity with substantive orthopedic surgical focus. The county health system sought three-year contracts for removal and extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, and Northern California technical support. The absence of additional hip implant component solicitations in the block—despite the code's specificity to bi-polar and uni-polar hip prosthetics—signals that state and local health procurement in this category either occurs through standing cooperative purchasing agreements, group purchasing organization contracts, or is underrepresented in recent open-market RFP activity. Business development focus under this code should track cooperative purchasing portals and health system group purchasing arrangements rather than expect frequent standalone RFP or IFB issuance.
