UNSPSC 42161518: Peritoneal dialysis disconnect caps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as disconnect caps for peritoneal dialysis. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42161518 Peritoneal dialysis disconnect caps is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure single-use disconnect caps and related closure devices for peritoneal dialysis systems. These caps are consumable medical supplies that prevent contamination and infection at connection points during peritoneal dialysis treatment, a home-based renal replacement therapy. Purchases under this code come from state health departments, Medicaid agencies, county health systems, municipal hospitals, and dialysis treatment centers operated or contracted by local government bodies. The work is straightforward procurement of FDA-cleared medical devices meeting sterility and biocompatibility standards; state and local buyers typically issue these purchases as routine supply contracts with standardized specifications.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available data for this code. The code represents a narrow, specialized medical supply category with limited procurement activity at the state and local level; most dialysis-related purchasing is concentrated in federal programs (Medicare, Veterans Affairs) and private dialysis providers. State and local procurement under this Commodity code, where it occurs, typically flows through established group purchasing agreements, standing supply contracts, or Medicaid-managed care networks rather than through open-market solicitations.
