UNSPSC 42294221: Shunt system implantation instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of shunt system implantation instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294221 Shunt system implantation instrument sets is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope — the solicitations capture laser surgical equipment, surgical power instruments, outpatient furniture, and law enforcement equipment rather than shunt implantation instruments or related neurosurgical device sets. State and local governments soliciting under this code in the past four months are not actually buying shunt implantation systems or their associated instrumentation.

The geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County and the State of California) and a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell, headquartered in Minnesota, serving participating counties in Washington state and jurisdictions nationwide). The representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for surgical power equipment (due May 28, 2026) and the State of California's competitive bid for outpatient building furniture (posted May 20 and May 30, 2026, with responses due June 4 and June 9). Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, with a June 16, 2026 deadline. The code shows material recent activity, but the divergence between the code's stated scope and actual procurement content suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and current state and local buying patterns in this category.
