UNSPSC 42143105: Obstetrical extraction units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product consisting of the instruments and devices necessary to do an extraction of a fetus in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42143105 Obstetrical extraction units is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure for law enforcement and tactical equipment purposes rather than medical/obstetrical use. The two recent opportunities posted under this code show significant category mismatch: Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) seeks law enforcement equipment for a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, plus numerous other jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada; and Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 (posted April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026) seeks Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources across 17 CTE program areas including health sciences, robotics, and welding. Neither solicitation references obstetrical extraction units or medical equipment procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Geographic activity under this code spans Washington state and Texas based on recent postings, though the Sourcewell cooperative extends the purchasing vehicle nationally. Issuing bodies include state-authorized cooperative purchasing units (Sourcewell on behalf of counties and public entities) and school districts. The Klein ISD solicitation requires HUB, MWBE, SBE, and veteran-owned business consideration where federal funds are expended, with proposals due through Bonfire by June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with contract commencement September 1, 2026. The fundamental disconnect between the code's medical classification and the law enforcement and education procurement activity tagged under it suggests the code may not be the appropriate taxonomy fit for state and local opportunities currently being posted.
