UNSPSC 42321804: Patellar implants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a patellar implant in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321804 Patellar implants (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The four most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve furniture supply for a California outpatient building, orthopedic hardware extraction system services from San Mateo Medical Center, law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and vein-finder ultrasound equipment for a Florida hospital's oncology department — none of which represent patellar implant procurement. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local sourcing databases or that this Commodity code is not routinely used to tag implant purchases in the jurisdictions currently posting opportunities.

The single arguably related solicitation is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP #666002526252 (posted July 1, 2026, proposals due July 1, 2026), which sought orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for surgical procedures, including removal of orthopedic implants and screws compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. That opportunity is healthcare-adjacent but remains distinct from patellar implant supply itself — it addresses extraction and removal support rather than procurement of the implants. The geographic spread includes California and Florida based on the recent opportunities, with no other states showing relevant patellar implant activity in this dataset. Given the absence of direct patellar implant solicitations under this code in recent state and local postings, buyers in this space should verify whether purchasing offices are using alternative UNSPSC codes for implant procurement or whether implant sourcing routes through hospital group purchasing organizations and prime vendors outside direct state and local bid processes.
