UNSPSC 42142716: Pessary devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of a medical device similar to the outer ring of a diaphragm used to support the uterus, vagina, bladder, or rectum. US FDA regulates Pessary devices under 21 CFR 884.3570 and under FDA product code HHW. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42142716 Pessary devices (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with no posted solicitations directly procuring pessary devices or related gynecological support products in the reviewed opportunities. The code nominally covers pressurized or non-pressurized intravaginal devices used for pelvic floor support and urinary continence management, but state and local bodies rarely solicit these items under standalone procurements; when acquired, they typically bundle within broader medical supply contracts serving hospitals, correctional health services, or state-operated facilities.

The recent opportunities posted across state and local jurisdictions show no direct purchases of pessary devices. A Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB (HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) covering medical supplies for the Abilene State Supported Living Center includes gastrostomy tubes, catheters, feeding sets, and IV equipment from established vendors such as Cardinal Health and Becton Dickinson, but does not reference gynecological or pelvic floor devices. Other recent postings cover utility locating services (Pasco County), irrigation equipment (City of Richardson and Valencia College), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and debris removal (Fairfax County). Pursuits under this code should focus on state health agencies, departments of corrections, long-term care facilities, and integrated medical supply blanket agreements where pessary devices may be nested within larger gynecological or continence-care line items; direct standalone solicitations for pessary products remain rare in the state and local market.
