UNSPSC 42322808: Tibial ankle augment

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

UNSPSC 42322808 Tibial ankle augment is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic implant devices, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows significant misalignment with that scope. The four most recent opportunities include furniture procurement for a California healthcare outpatient building, orthopedic hardware extraction system services (removals, not augments), law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and career technical education instructional resources from a Texas school district. Only one of the four—the San Mateo Medical Center orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services solicitation—relates directly to orthopedic work, and that solicitation addresses extraction and removal of implants rather than augmentation or implantation. The code shows little relevant recent activity for tibial ankle augments specifically, and the opportunities posted suggest that state and local procurement offices are applying this code inconsistently or to procurement categories that do not match the code's nominal medical device classification.

The issuing bodies include a state health system (California), a county public hospital (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions), and a school district (Klein ISD in Texas). Geographic activity spans California, Washington, Minnesota, and Texas, but the procurement focus across these jurisdictions does not center on orthopedic implants. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, due July 1, 2026, is the only opportunity with direct relevance to orthopedic healthcare; it seeks vendor proposals for removal systems compatible with multiple orthopedic implant manufacturers, with vendors required to demonstrate five years of acute-care hospital experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California service availability, and requires general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and products liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The code does not show sustained recent procurement demand for tibial ankle augments at the state and local level.
