UNSPSC 42203435: Arteriotomy pressure point pads

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an item designed for use in providing digital pressure over the site following femoral catheterization. It may also allow for the removal of the catheter or introducer with a minimum of blood loss in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42203435 Arteriotomy pressure point pads (Commodity) covers specialized hemostatic and wound management supplies procured by state health agencies and municipal fire and emergency medical services. Recent solicitations frame the code narrowly: state agencies and cities are buying bleeding control pads and related hemostatic devices for emergency response, trauma care, and clinical facility operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and City of Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division are the named recent buyers, representing state health administration and municipal emergency services as primary issuing-body types. The work involves supplying manufacturer-branded medical consumables with specific product codes and performance specifications, typically as line items within broader medical and first aid supply contracts rather than as standalone purchases.

Recent activity appears in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, due July 30, 2026, for medical supplies and small tools serving the Abilene State Supported Living Center, a blanket purchase agreement with a term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 and option for one additional year. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicited medical and first aid supplies (ITB 26-P-00145) due March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract amount of $700,000.00, designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises, reserved exclusively for SLBE bidders with a 5% bid discount available. Both procurements bundle pressure point pads and hemostatic supplies with broader categories of emergency and clinical consumables, suggesting the code captures demand-responsive purchases tied to facility operations and emergency response cycles rather than scheduled, high-volume procurement.
