UNSPSC 42322402: Lower body limb salvage implants

UNSPSC 42322402 Lower body limb salvage implants, a Commodity code, encompasses orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems, surgical instrumentation for implant retrieval, and related technical support services procured by state and local health systems and medical centers. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through public hospital systems, county medical centers, and cooperative-purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The work involves providing extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, technical support for orthopedic surgical procedures, case management, and instrumentation retrieval services—often on an as-needed or master-agreement basis rather than as discrete purchases of implants themselves.

Recent activity centers on San Mateo County and Minnesota-based cooperative vehicles. San Mateo Medical Center issued RFP 666002526252 on July 1, 2026, for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services with a three-year contract term, requiring proposers to demonstrate five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and capability to support acute-care hospital operations across Northern California. NASPO ValuePoint (administering state South Dakota) and Sourcewell (Minnesota) both posted master-agreement RFPs in September 2026 for medical supplies and physical health products respectively, establishing cooperative-purchasing vehicles available to state and local entities nationwide; proposals for both were due in October and November 2026. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in the West and upper Midwest, with solicitations primarily through public hospital systems and established cooperative-purchasing frameworks rather than individual municipalities or school districts.
