UNSPSC 42161501: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis CAPD transfer sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a transfer set for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42161501 Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis CAPD transfer sets, a Commodity code, covers the sterile tubing and connection assemblies that patients use to exchange dialysate during peritoneal dialysis treatment. State and local governments procure these sets primarily through health departments, county hospital systems, and regional dialysis networks that provide or subsidize renal care for uninsured and Medicaid populations. The sets themselves are single-use medical devices subject to FDA classification and must meet biocompatibility and sterility standards; procurement typically follows competitive bidding among manufacturers who supply hospitals and outpatient dialysis centers. Issuing bodies range from state health agencies managing dialysis programs to county public health departments and municipal hospitals operating dialysis units.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted solicitations, geographic concentration and representative RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity cannot be characterized. Procurement of CAPD transfer sets may occur under standing state contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, or GPO accounts rather than through open competitive solicitations, or this particular Commodity code may see limited recent activity in the state and local procurement market relative to higher-level class or family codes for dialysis supplies and equipment.
