UNSPSC 42322003: Elbow joint implants

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an elbow joint implant in a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42322003 Elbow joint implants is a Commodity code that captures medical device procurement by state and local health systems, but the recent opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the nominal scope. The opportunities reflect furniture procurement for healthcare facilities, orthopedic hardware extraction systems and services, law enforcement equipment, and educational instructional resources — none of which align with the elbow joint implant classification. The sole opportunity with direct healthcare procurement relevance is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which concerns surgical instrumentation for implant removal rather than implant supply itself. State and local health care procurement offices, county hospitals, and hospital system purchasing departments appear across the recent filings, though the misalignment between the code classification and actual solicitation scope limits the utility of these records for tracking elbow joint implant demand.

San Mateo County, in Northern California, issued the most directly relevant recent opportunity — RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, due July 1, 2026, through San Mateo Medical Center. The State of California issued furniture procurement RFB-IS-27200016 for outpatient building supplies, due July 28, 2026, which falls outside implant procurement. Klein Independent School District in Texas and Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and Washington state jurisdictions posted unrelated acquisitions. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity directly supporting elbow joint implant procurement; vendors should verify the actual classification used by health systems when pursuing orthopedic implant supply contracts, as the current posting pattern suggests misclassification or low current demand under this specific code.
