UNSPSC 42321900: Shoulder joint implants

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

UNSPSC 42321900 Shoulder joint implants is a Class code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve furniture supply for healthcare facilities, orthopedic hardware extraction system services, law enforcement equipment, career and technical education resources, and vein-finder ultrasound equipment — none of which constitute shoulder joint implants or related orthopedic implant procurement. The single substantively relevant solicitation is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which addresses the removal of existing orthopedic implants rather than the supply of new implants. The mismatch between the code's stated focus and the work actually being solicited suggests this code is either inactive or incorrectly applied by state and local issuing bodies in their recent posting cycles.

San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system in California) issued the most directly related recent opportunity — RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, with proposals due July 1, 2026. The three-year contract requires five years of documented experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and multi-manufacturer compatibility; the scope includes delivery, technical support, and safe removal of orthopedic implants, screws, and intramedullary nails. A local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent applies under San Mateo County ordinance. The procurement mandates $1,000,000 general liability, $1,000,000 products liability, and $5,000,000 cyber liability coverage, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 percent), firm qualifications (25 percent), team qualifications (20 percent), and price (25 percent). No pre-proposal conference or site visit is scheduled. Firms pursuing this code should note that recent state and local procurement activity emphasizes extraction and removal services rather than implant supply, and should confirm current code assignment with prospective customers before investing significant bid preparation effort.
