UNSPSC 42322805: Talar stem

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a talar stem in a total ankle replacement surgical procedure in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42322805 Talar stem is a Commodity code that encompasses surgical and orthopedic implant components and related extraction or removal systems used in acute-care hospital and surgical settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services for surgical procedures, including instrumentation, technical support, and case assistance for removal of orthopedic implants, screws, intramedullary nails, and hardware compatible with multiple implant manufacturers. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county hospital systems and special-purpose districts; San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system in California) posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction systems on an as-needed basis with a three-year term and evaluation emphasis on firm qualifications, project approach, team qualifications, and price. State and local purchasing offices and school districts appear in the opportunity block but their solicitations (outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and career technical education resources) are not aligned with the talar stem code's orthopedic implant scope and likely represent tagging mismatches rather than relevant activity.

Geographic activity centers on California, where San Mateo County Medical Center issued its RFP for orthopedic hardware extraction system services with a proposal due date of July 1, 2026, and a requirement that service and technical support be available within Northern California. The solicitation required five years of experience providing orthopedic hardware extraction systems with demonstrated acute-care hospital support, ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent, and compliance with Section 504 accessibility, HIPAA privacy and security standards, and San Mateo County's living wage ordinance (currently $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustment). Insurance requirements included general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence. The code shows limited recent relevant activity beyond the San Mateo procurement; most other tagged opportunities in the block address unrelated commodity categories.
