UNSPSC 42321912 Total or partial shoulder replacement kits or systems is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure shoulder replacement implant systems and related orthopedic hardware through this code, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader set of orthopedic procurement activities. The work includes surgical implant systems, extraction and removal tooling for existing hardware, and related medical supplies purchased through cooperative-purchasing vehicles and direct health-system procurements. Issuing bodies span state health departments, county hospital systems, and regional purchasing cooperatives. San Mateo County's Medical Center, for example, recently solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis for acute-care surgical procedures, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers, and three-year service and technical-support availability within Northern California.

Recent activity appears concentrated in cooperative-purchasing solicitations that bundle shoulder replacement systems with broader medical-supplies categories rather than shoulder-specific implant RFPs. NASPO ValuePoint (administering state South Dakota) posted RFP 1433 on September 25, 2026 for master-agreement medical supplies due November 9, 2026, intended to serve state and local entities across multiple states through collective purchasing volume. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative, posted RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services on September 1, 2026 with proposals due October 20, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The San Mateo County procurement (RFB-IS-27200016, closed July 28, 2026) focused on surgical extraction systems rather than primary shoulder implants. Geographic activity spans California, Minnesota, South Dakota, and multistate cooperative networks; most recent competitive opportunities are structured as framework agreements available to participating entities rather than single-agency buys.
