UNSPSC 42295459: Fluid decanting devices for surgical use

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a fluid decanting device during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Fluid decanting devices for surgical use under 21 CFR 880.5025 and under FDA product code KPE. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295459 Fluid decanting devices for surgical use is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized surgical instrumentation for controlled fluid management during medical procedures, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal and the tagged opportunities show little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local healthcare systems and medical centers solicit fluid management and surgical instrumentation through broader cooperative purchasing vehicles and health system RFPs rather than through discrete commodity codes for individual device types. When surgical supply procurement does appear in state and local notices, it typically falls within aggregate health products and related services agreements that bundle multiple device categories, examination services, and support functions under a single master contract rather than isolating a single fluid decanting device line.

The most recent activity tagged to this code involves a State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office RFP (102026) issued in cooperation with Sourcewell on October 6, 2026, closing October 20, 2026, to establish master agreements for Physical Health Products and Related Services available to state governments, institutions of higher education, political subdivisions including school districts, counties, and cities across multiple states. A second opportunity, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and a San Mateo County Medical Center RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services due July 1, 2026, were also tagged to this code but address occupational health examinations and orthopedic hardware services respectively—neither directly related to fluid decanting devices. The Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (061626) due June 16, 2026, represents a further misalignment. Geographic activity is distributed across Illinois, Washington, and California, but the tagging inconsistency suggests this code may see limited direct solicitation activity for its specific product line in state and local procurement.
