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 (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four recent opportunities posted under this code involve furniture supply for a California healthcare outpatient building, orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services at San Mateo Medical Center, law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career technical education instructional resources for a Texas school district. Only the San Mateo Medical Center orthopedic hardware removal solicitation bears direct relevance to orthopedic surgical implants and extraction systems; the remaining three opportunities appear misclassified under this code and address unrelated procurement categories. The San Mateo opportunity itself targets extraction and removal services rather than knee replacement kits or systems as products.

San Mateo County's Department of Health is the primary issuing body with a directly relevant solicitation—an RFP for three-year orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (Solicitation 666002526252) with responses due July 1, 2026. Proposers must demonstrate five years of experience with acute-care hospital support, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and universal extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, with technical support available within Northern California. A local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent applies under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Insurance requirements include general liability and products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence. This code does not currently reflect active solicitation by state departments, counties, or school districts specifically for knee replacement kits or systems as discrete products; procurement under UNSPSC 42321808 remains extremely limited in the recent state and local market.
