UNSPSC 42161517: Peritoneal dialysis cassettes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as instrument and supply cassettes for peritoneal dialysis. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42161517 Peritoneal dialysis cassettes, a Commodity code, names the sterile, single-use cassette assemblies that interface with peritoneal dialysis machines to deliver dialysate and manage fluid exchange for end-stage renal disease patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). State and local jurisdictions procure these cassettes through their health departments, hospital systems, county health authorities, and renal care programs to support dialysis services for indigent and covered populations; procurement typically occurs through standing contracts or blanket purchase orders with medical supply vendors, often leveraging state cooperative purchasing vehicles or regional health authority group purchasing agreements.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under UNSPSC 42161517 are documented in the available source material, indicating minimal or no visible procurement activity in the public opportunity record during the search window. Peritoneal dialysis cassettes are specialized medical consumables typically procured through existing supply agreements and renewals rather than open competitive solicitations, which may explain the absence of posted opportunities even where jurisdictions maintain active dialysis programs.
