UNSPSC 42142712: Stone remover sets or baskets or extractors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that includes the instruments and accessories required to remove stones and calcium generate by human organs. US FDA regulates Stone remover sets under 21 CFR 876.5160 and under FDA product code LQR. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42142712 Stone remover sets or baskets or extractors is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialized tools for stone removal, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this classification span medical supplies for a residential care facility, underground utility locating services, irrigation equipment purchases, law enforcement gear, irrigation system mainline upgrades, and disaster debris removal—none of which involve stone removal equipment or baskets. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code assignment artifact that does not reflect genuine procurement demand for stone removal tools in the state and local market.

No recent opportunities in the source block describe procurement of stone remover sets, baskets, or extractors. The code's low visibility in current state and local solicitations signals either minimal real-world demand for products under this classification or widespread misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how jurisdictions tag their actual purchasing activity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether the code itself carries active procurement volume through direct vendor outreach to state purchasing offices and cooperative purchasing consortia, as the recent-opportunity record does not support active pursuit.
