UNSPSC 42321903: Humeral stems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a humeral stem in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Humeral stems under 21 CFR 888.3660 and under FDA product code PHX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42321903 Humeral stems is a Commodity code that should describe orthopedic implant components used in shoulder replacement and reconstruction procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and what is actually being procured. The four most recent opportunities include outpatient building furniture (State of California), orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and career technical education resources (Klein Independent School District). None of these solicitations involve humeral stems or other orthopedic implant devices. The code appears to show little relevant recent procurement activity; the opportunities present suggest either tagging errors within the procurement systems or that state and local agencies are not currently sourcing humeral stems through open competitive bidding.

Without recent state and local opportunities actually purchasing humeral stems under this code, no issuing-body pattern, geographic concentration, or representative procurement profile can be established. The source provides no evidence that state and local governments are actively soliciting humeral stems through RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices at present.
