In this classification, this commodity indicates a set of instruments and consumables or an expander used in a plastic or cosmetic surgery procedure in a medical settingPlastic or cosmetic tissue expanders or sets under 21 CFR and under FDA product code LCJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295509 Plastic or cosmetic tissue expanders or sets is a Commodity code that state and local governments classify procurement activity under despite showing limited concrete alignment with the code's nominal scope in recent solicitations. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code — occupational medical surveillance services from Washington State Ferries and law enforcement equipment from a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle — do not involve tissue expanders or cosmetic medical devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or repurposing of the code for procurement categories that fall outside its stated definition. State and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), cooperative purchasing consortia (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide public entities), and the multi-jurisdictional agencies those consortia serve.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and represented by Washington state procurement, though Sourcewell's nationwide cooperative purchasing framework suggests broader national reach among participating entities. The Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP, posted August 25, 2026 with a response deadline of October 9, 2026, required occupational health examinations across 14 Washington locations for multiple employee categories under a two-year term with optional one-year extensions. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, was structured as a cooperative procurement to establish contracting solutions available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada. Neither opportunity directly relates to tissue expanders or cosmetic medical devices, indicating the code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal product category.
