UNSPSC 42321800: Knee joint implants

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in knee joint implantation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42321800 Knee joint implants is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no solicitations for knee implants themselves. Instead, the code appears to capture tangential healthcare procurement activity: orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, surgical equipment such as vein finders for oncology, outpatient building furniture for healthcare facilities, and general educational resources. The mismatch suggests the code may be overtagged or misapplied in state and local procurement systems. When opportunities do touch orthopedic services—such as San Mateo Medical Center's request for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers—they address surgical support and instrumentation rather than implants themselves. State and local issuers include county health systems, special taxing district hospitals, and independent school districts, with no dominant repeat buyer pattern evident in recent postings.

Geographic activity centers on California and Florida. San Mateo County (California) posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction services due July 1, 2026, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California technical support availability, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Halifax Health, a special taxing district hospital in Daytona Beach, Florida, issued an ITB for a vein finder system for oncology due March 9, 2026. The State of California posted an RFB for healthcare outpatient building furniture due July 28, 2026, with CBE (Certified Business Enterprise) certification required and state set-aside policies applicable. The code shows minimal recent demand directly aligned with knee implant procurement, signaling low activity for firms focused on orthopedic implant supply in the state and local market.
