UNSPSC 42322801: Tibial ankle baseplates or trays

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a fixed bearing tibial ankle component in a total ankle replacement surgical procedure in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42322801 Tibial ankle baseplates or trays is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct relevance to orthopedic implant components. Of the four opportunities tagged with this code, only one—San Mateo Medical Center's request for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services—involves orthopedic procurement at all; the others address outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and career technical education resources. The San Mateo opportunity calls for as-needed provision of surgical extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, including technical support and case assistance for removal of orthopedic hardware, screws, and intramedullary nails. This reflects demand for orthopedic surgical support services rather than tibial ankle baseplate components themselves. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities listed suggests either incidental misclassification in the underlying records or that vendors submitting under this code are not currently pursuing direct implant-component supply through state and local channels.

The geographic activity reported includes California (State of California, San Mateo Medical Center), Washington and Minnesota (through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative), and Texas (Klein ISD). San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware removal RFP, posted July 1, 2026 with a same-day deadline, required ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of experience, and general liability and products liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence each, with a three-year contract term. The State of California's furniture solicitation (RFB-IS-27200016, due July 28, 2026) included set-aside consideration for minority-owned, women-owned, and designated business enterprises. No evidence in the recent opportunities supports active state or local solicitation of tibial ankle baseplates or similar orthopedic implant components as discrete line items.
