UNSPSC 42322000: Distal joint orthopedic implants

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

UNSPSC 42322000 Distal joint orthopedic implants (Class) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The code's title suggests medical devices for lower-extremity joint repair, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it diverge significantly: one solicitation covers furniture for a healthcare outpatient building, another addresses law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and a third requests Career Technical Education instructional resources for a school district. Only one of the four recent opportunities — San Mateo Medical Center's request for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services — directly relates to orthopedic surgical hardware, though that work addresses extraction and removal support rather than implants themselves. The mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or dormant activity under this specific commodity classification in the state and local space.

San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated acute-care hospital and clinic system in California) posted the sole relevant opportunity on July 1, 2026, with proposals due the same day, seeking an as-needed vendor to supply orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems with three years of contract term, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers. The California State Facilities Commission issued a furniture procurement (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) that was incorrectly tagged under this code. Beyond these two, the code shows no recent state or local demand signals for actual distal joint orthopedic implants. If your firm supplies orthopedic implants to hospitals or surgery centers, competitive activity under this code in state and local procurement does not currently register; watch for activity from county health systems and public hospital networks in California and other states where public sector medical procurement is active, but the code as currently used does not reliably surface relevant opportunities.
