UNSPSC 42295419: Surgical nerve stimulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a nerve stimulator during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical nerve stimulators under 21 CFR 868.2775 and under FDA product code BXN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295419 Surgical nerve stimulators is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans orthopedic surgical hardware extraction systems, spinal implants, and law enforcement equipment — a scope considerably broader than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments are purchasing these products and related services primarily through health systems and public medical centers (San Mateo Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) and through cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell). The work includes supply of FDA-approved or CE-certified implants, instruments, and extraction systems; delivery and technical support; and bill-only contracting arrangements where vendors provide loaner equipment and specialty sets without charge. Vendors must meet baseline qualifications — typically five years of experience in the product category, ISO or equivalent certification where required, and compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, state living-wage ordinances, and HUB subcontracting plan requirements. Insurance minimums often include general and products liability of $1 million per occurrence and cyber liability in the $5 million range for health system contracts.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in California and Texas, with multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing extending reach across the Pacific Northwest and nationally. Representative recent solicitations include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (posted July 1, 2026, response due July 1, 2026), which prioritizes local business under San Mateo County ordinance with a 5 to 10 percent preference; the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants supporting a newly opened 144-bed, 12-operating-room facility (posted January 29, 2026, response due March 10, 2026); and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties in Washington and multiple jurisdictions nationwide (posted May 12, 2026, response due June 16, 2026). Health system procurement typically runs on multi-year terms (one to three years with renewal options) with no guaranteed minimum volume, and evaluation weights emphasize quality and service capability alongside cost.
