UNSPSC 42142729: Nephrostomy set accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that contains the instruments and accessories to perform a nephrostomy (an artificial opening created between the kidney and the skin which allows for the urinary diversion directly from the upper part of the urinary system). Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42142729 Nephrostomy set accessories is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchases of nephrostomy equipment or related urological supplies. Instead, the two identified solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance services and general medical supplies for a state-supported living center — neither of which aligns with the code's stated scope of nephrostomy accessories. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal product definition.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP (RFP20260825) seeks occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB (HHS0017603) for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, covers gastrostomy tubes, IV devices, and catheters — both material mismatches to nephrostomy accessories procurement. Business development professionals pursuing opportunities in urological or nephrology supplies should monitor codes that more directly reflect those product lines rather than expecting consistent nephrostomy-related activity under this code.
