UNSPSC 42321723: Femoral necks

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a femoral neck in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Femoral necks under 21 CFR 888.3030 and under FDA product code HRS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321723 Femoral necks, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code name refers to orthopedic implant components—specifically femoral neck prostheses used in hip replacement surgery—yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles for broad medical supplies, physical health products, outpatient building furniture, and law enforcement equipment, with only one solicitation addressing orthopedic hardware directly. State and local buyers using this code appear to include cooperative purchasing entities (NASPO ValuePoint administrated by South Dakota, Sourcewell administrated by Minnesota), county governments (San Mateo County), and state agencies (State of California), though the mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the range of opportunities suggests the code may be applied inconsistently or serve as a catch-all within broader medical-procurement categories.

The one representative opportunity with clear relevance to orthopedic hardware is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, due July 1, 2026, which targets suppliers capable of providing extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers and serving Northern California hospitals. Geographic activity is concentrated in California and the Upper Midwest (South Dakota, Minnesota, Washington), though the cooperative-purchasing structure of NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell solicitations extends potential reach across multiple states. The broader medical-supplies and health-products solicitations—NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell RFP 102026 (due October 20, 2026)—suggest state and local buyers are consolidating medical-procurement spend through cooperative vehicles rather than issuing individual orthopedic-component solicitations. Pursuit under this code should focus on cooperative-vehicle participation and direct sales to hospital systems with orthopedic programs; standalone femoral-neck component solicitations appear limited in recent state and local activity.
