UNSPSC 42203502: Cardiac pacing leads or electrodes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a pacing lead or electrode placed into the chamber of the heart to provide the channel for cardiac pacing from an electronic device in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Cardiac pacing leads or electrodes under 21 CFR 870.3680 and under FDA product code DTB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42203502 Cardiac pacing leads or electrodes, a Commodity code, nominally classifies implantable electrophysiology devices, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity directly matching cardiac pacing leads. The NASPO ValuePoint cooperative-purchasing RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies, posted September 25, 2026 with a November 9, 2026 proposal deadline, establishes master agreements across multiple states administered by South Dakota but does not detail commodity categories or confirm inclusion of pacing leads. Bryan County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IFB on August 13, 2026 for ten EMS cardiac monitors — monitoring equipment rather than pacing leads — due September 10, 2026. A Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 and due June 16, 2026, is unrelated to cardiac devices. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities labeled under it.

Recent activity under this code appears sparse and does not reliably reflect cardiac pacing lead procurement by state and local entities. The NASPO ValuePoint vehicle, administered through Idaho's procurement system, represents the only potentially relevant cooperative-purchasing opportunity, but the medical-supplies scope and specific commodity categories are not detailed in available materials. Georgia remains the only state with a close-match solicitation (the Bryan County monitors purchase), and that acquisition targets diagnostic equipment outside the pacing-lead scope. Prospective vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether cardiac pacing leads or related electrophysiology products are included in the NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies master agreements or pursue opportunities through state health-system RFPs and hospital networks rather than relying on this UNSPSC code as a reliable signal of demand.
