UNSPSC 42142544: Vein stabilization devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that contains the device used to stabilize veins in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42142544 Vein stabilization devices is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local medical-procurement activity currently tagged under it. Recent solicitations classified under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, histology laboratory services, laboratory testing and phlebotomy, and full-line medical supplies and equipment distribution — none of which involve vein stabilization devices. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. State and local issuing bodies pursuing medical procurement include cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, Sourcewell), county governments (Brevard County, Marion County), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread of recent medical-procurement activity spans Florida, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, and multi-state cooperative membership across the United States.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement. NASPO ValuePoint is soliciting master-agreement proposals for medical supplies through RFP 1433, with proposals due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, administered by South Dakota as the cooperative's lead state. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) requested proposals for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors serving approximately 8,000 purchasing members with $300 million in collective annual purchasing power, with proposals due July 20, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, solicited occupational medical surveillance services under RFP 20260825, with proposals due October 9, 2026, requiring services across 14 Washington locations. Brevard County Purchasing Services solicited histology laboratory services through RFQ-7-26-07 for postmortem biological specimen analysis, with proposals due April 7, 2026. The code's current tagging appears to be a classification error rather than a reflection of actual vein stabilization device procurement by state and local governments.
