UNSPSC 42142709: Nephrostomy sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that used for percutaneous placement of a pigtail catheter in the renal pelvis for nephrostomy drainage. US FDA regulates Nephrostomy sets under 21 CFR 878.42 and under FDA product code GBO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42142709 Nephrostomy sets is a Commodity code covering specialized urological drainage and collection devices used in hospital, long-term care, and clinical settings. State and local procurement activity under this code is limited; the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for nephrostomy sets themselves. The one medically focused opportunity in the dataset — HHS0017603 from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, posted July 15, 2026 with bids due July 30, 2026 — names gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, and enteral feeding sets under an IFB structure, but does not explicitly reference nephrostomy products. The remaining opportunities in the block address underground utility locating, irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, debris removal, and landscaping infrastructure—none of which align with urological medical devices.

State and local governments do procure nephrostomy sets through health and human services agencies, state-supported living centers, corrections departments, and public hospital systems, but the recent contract activity documented here does not capture this commodity at the state and local level. Business development professionals evaluating this code should assess whether their target customer base includes state Medicaid agencies, state hospital networks, or corrections health services with sufficient procurement scale to justify pursuit. The Texas HHS opportunity suggests that medical device procurement for state-operated facilities does occur through formal IFB processes with fixed-price agreements and Q&A cycles, but the absence of nephrostomy-specific solicitations in the recent dataset indicates either low procurement frequency, consolidation under higher-tier medical supply codes, or reliance on standing state price agreements rather than competitive sealed bids for this product line.
