UNSPSC 42322803: Tibial ankle inserts or bearings or articular surfaces

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

UNSPSC 42322803 Tibial ankle inserts or bearings or articular surfaces is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span furniture supply for a California healthcare outpatient building, orthopedic hardware extraction services for a county medical center, law enforcement equipment through a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career and technical education instructional resources for a Texas school district — none of which represent tibial ankle inserts, bearings, or articular surfaces as described by the code's nominal scope. The single opportunity with genuine orthopedic hardware relevance — San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services — addresses the surgical instrumentation and support systems for extracting implants rather than the implant components themselves.

State and local procurement activity under this code as currently tagged does not reflect the specialized medical device inventory or procurement patterns that would typically support tibial ankle insert supply. San Mateo County Medical Center (the most relevant issuing body among the opportunities shown) is procuring extraction and removal services, not implant products, and specifies requirements for ISO 13485:2016 certification, $1,000,000 general and products liability coverage, and five years of acute-care hospital experience, with a three-year contract term and proposals due July 1, 2026. No current state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for tibial ankle inserts or related articular surface components appears in the recent opportunity set. Pursuit under this code warrants validation against actual procurement data before resource allocation.
