UNSPSC 42142728: Urological strainers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that acts as a strainer of urological fluid to aid in the viewing of stones and calcium deposits in urine. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42142728 Urological strainers (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code—occupational medical surveillance services for the Washington State Ferries and medical supplies and equipment for a Texas state residential facility—involve occupational health examinations, gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and SpO2 sensors, none of which relate to urological strainers as a product category. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that the issuing bodies may be using this code as a catch-all for miscellaneous medical supplies rather than for urological equipment specifically.

The two opportunities span different issuing bodies and geographies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of the Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and small tools for the Abilene State Supported Living Center with bids due July 30, 2026. Neither opportunity describes procurement activity that business development professionals in the urological-strainer space would find actionable. A firm considering this code should verify the actual commodity classifications used by target state and local buyers before investing in pursuit strategy.
