UNSPSC 42294608: Autotransfusion waste collection bags

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a autotransfusion waste collection bag during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392690.

UNSPSC 42294608 Autotransfusion waste collection bags is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) and Santa Clara County's RFP RFPPRCFY260544 for moving, transport, and relocation services (due April 1, 2026)—bear no relationship to autotransfusion waste collection or medical equipment procurement. Autotransfusion systems and their associated waste collection components are specialized medical supplies typically procured by health systems, hospitals, and surgical centers rather than by law enforcement or facilities management functions.

The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement channels. The opportunities currently associated with it appear to reflect miscoding or automated system assignment errors rather than genuine demand for autotransfusion waste collection bags among state agencies, counties, cities, or special-purpose districts. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local health departments, hospital purchasing cooperatives, or regional medical procurement consortia use this code in practice, or whether health-system procurement in state and local channels routes through different UNSPSC classifications. Without authentic recent opportunities demonstrating actual buyer demand, the code does not present a current pursue opportunity.
