In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an implantable infusion port for dispensing medication in the body of a patient comprises a septum which is preferably integrally molded from a nontoxic, rubberized material and has an interior cavity formed therein for receiving medication in the septum, and a catheter element which extends from the cavity to the exterior of the septum for dispensing medication in the body of a patient in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295503 Implantable infusion ports is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers a broader range of implantable medical devices than the code name suggests — primarily cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices) and spinal implants supplied to hospital systems and public healthcare institutions. State and local buyers under this code include public teaching hospitals, county hospital districts, and university health science centers procuring implantable devices for surgical programs. The University Medical Center of El Paso (El Paso County Hospital District in Texas) and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio are recent active buyers, each seeking to establish multi-vendor frameworks for high-volume implant supply. Work being solicited includes comprehensive device portfolios, clinical support capabilities, logistics coordination (emergency and scheduled delivery windows), and pricing structures negotiated on a unit or volume basis.

Recent opportunities span Texas and multi-state cooperative arrangements. The University Medical Center of El Paso issued RFP #784-03-26-001 for dual-vendor cardiac rhythm management device supply with proposals due April 29, 2026, evaluated on quality of product (35%), physician experience and ease of use (20%), cost (25%), vendor support (10%), and product assortment (10%). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants on a bill-only basis with proposals due March 10, 2026, requiring FDA-approved or CE-certified products, minimum five years' vendor experience, emergency delivery within four hours, and mandatory submission of a Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across Washington state and multiple U.S. jurisdictions, though this opportunity appears unrelated to implantable medical device procurement and likely reflects a code-tagging mismatch.
