UNSPSC 42321724: Hip cement spacers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a hip cement spacer in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42321724 Hip cement spacers is a Commodity code that names orthopedic implant-removal devices and extraction systems used in surgical settings, though state and local government purchasing activity under this specific code designation is minimal. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader procurement for orthopedic hardware services and medical supplies rather than hip cement spacers as a discrete product line. State and local governments procuring orthopedic surgical support through these vehicles are typically health systems, county medical centers, and cooperative purchasing groups establishing contracting frameworks for use across multiple participating entities. San Mateo Medical Center, a county public hospital system, is representative of the issuing-body profile — a regional health authority with acute-care facilities seeking on-demand surgical support services.

Recent activity clusters around cooperative-purchasing master agreements and service contracts rather than commodity-level product procurement. San Mateo Medical Center issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, with proposals due July 1, 2026, requiring vendors to demonstrate ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of acute-care hospital experience, and universal compatibility with multiple implant manufacturers; the contract term is three years. NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies, due November 9, 2026, and Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services, due October 20, 2026, establish cooperative frameworks available to state and local entities across multiple states, though neither posting specifies hip cement spacers or implant components as line items. Activity is concentrated in California and across the NASPO and Sourcewell cooperative networks spanning multiple states. The code shows limited direct sourcing for hip cement spacers as a standalone product; orthopedic hardware procurement at the state and local level typically flows through hospital systems' equipment-and-services contracts or broader medical-supplies master agreements rather than discrete component purchases.
