UNSPSC 42294722: Perfusion ventricular drainage sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a perfusion ventricular drainage set during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42294722 Perfusion ventricular drainage sets is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it overwhelmingly reflect procurement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), AED batteries, cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment — not the perfusion ventricular drainage devices the code nominally describes. School districts, county governments, state agencies, and fire-rescue services are the primary buyers, and their solicitations center on AED platforms (Cardiac Science/Zoll G5, Stryker LIFEPAK), replacement batteries, accessories, and emergency cardiac monitoring equipment. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a cataloging mismatch in the state and local sourcing databases or a drift in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities. Work solicited includes single-unit AED purchases and bulk replacements (Utica Community Schools, Michigan, RFP for AEDs due October 28, 2026; Sarasota County, Florida, IFB for 62 Cardiac Science G5 AED batteries, part number XBTAED001A; Bryan County, Georgia, sealed bid for 10 EMS cardiac monitors due September 10, 2026), cooperative purchasing master agreements for medical supplies across multiple categories (NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433, due November 9, 2026, administered through Idaho for participation by state and local entities), and sole source procurements (Colorado's LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillator procurement from Stryker, with challenge period closing September 28, 2026). School districts appear frequently, with Cobb County School District issuing two separate quotations for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories, each estimated at approximately $50,000 (Q27009 due July 6, 2026, and Q27027 due July 27, 2026).

Activity concentrates in the South, with Georgia, Texas (Dallas and Harris County AED and cardiac equipment RFPs), Florida, Michigan, and Colorado representing the bulk of recent postings. The geographic spread also includes cooperatives and multi-state vehicles such as Sourcewell (RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, serving participating counties in Washington and jurisdictions nationally) and NASPO ValuePoint, which aggregate demand across state and local boundaries. Emergency medical services and fire departments dominate the issuing-body mix, followed by school districts and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center, due August 19, 2026, included defibrillator pads among 39 line items with a historical contract value of $50,000). The recent activity indicates sustained demand for point-of-care emergency cardiac equipment, but the code itself does not align with the work being solicited. Vendors targeting this code face uncertainty about whether state and local databases will continue tagging AED and cardiac monitor procurements under UNSPSC 42294722 or migrate to more accurate commodity classifications.
