UNSPSC 42321808: Total knee replacement kits or systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform total knee replacement procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Total knee replacement kits or systems 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 42321808 Total knee replacement kits or systems is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect knee replacement procurement. Instead, the code is appearing in master-agreement and cooperative-purchasing RFPs for broad medical-supplies and physical-health-products categories—NASPO ValuePoint's medical-supplies master agreements (RFP 1433, due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's physical health products and related services contracting vehicle (RFP 102026, due October 20, 2026)—alongside unrelated solicitations for outpatient furniture, orthopedic extraction systems, and law enforcement equipment. The mismatch suggests these cooperative-purchasing vehicles are casting wide nets across multiple UNSPSC codes without precision in how they tag individual opportunities. State and local issuers using the code include cooperative-purchasing entities (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) that serve multiple state and local jurisdictions, the State of California, and San Mateo County; the latter two posted single-agency opportunities unrelated to the code's nominal scope.

Geographic activity is dispersed across the country, with South Dakota administering the NASPO ValuePoint vehicle, Minnesota administering the Sourcewell vehicle, and recent solicitations posted from California. The cooperative-purchasing RFPs are open to state and local entities nationwide, but the Sourcewell opportunity names Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington as participating entities. Because the code shows limited recent activity clearly aligned with knee replacement kits or systems, and recent opportunities reflect master-agreement and miscellaneous commodity solicitations rather than orthopedic implant procurement, this code presents minimal current pursuit signals for vendors focused specifically on total knee replacement systems.
