UNSPSC 42321801: Femoral knee components

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a femoral knee component in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Femoral knee components under 21 CFR 888.3510 and under FDA product code KRO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321801 Femoral knee components is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity represents orthopedic surgical services and equipment rather than the discrete implant components the code name suggests. State and local health systems and hospitals are soliciting under this code for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services — vendor-supplied instrumentation, technical support, and case management for safe removal of orthopedic implants, screws, and intramedullary nails during surgical procedures. The code also captures facility furniture and furnishings for healthcare outpatient environments, where state capital projects solicit casework, cabinets, seating, tables, and storage designed for clinical spaces with durability and infection-control requirements. Issuing bodies include state capital projects (California), county-operated acute-care hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The mix reflects both direct procurement by operating health systems and state-level capital facility work.

Recent activity centers in California, where the State of California posted an RFB for outpatient building furniture with delivery and installation (due July 28, 2026) and San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction system services on an as-needed basis with a three-year contract term (due July 1, 2026). San Mateo County's orthopedic procurement requires five years of demonstrated experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, Northern California technical support capacity, and general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence; the County applies a 5 to 10 percent local-business preference under its ordinance. California state procurement on the furniture side incorporates set-asides for minority-owned, women-owned, and other designated business enterprises, with CBE certification required. The geographic concentration remains limited to California in the most recent opportunities; broader state and local activity under this code is not evident in the current posting cycle.
