In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a surgical mesh or tissue barrier during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295513 Surgical mesh or tissue barriers, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The sourced solicitations include orthopedic hardware extraction system services (San Mateo Medical Center), a multi-jurisdiction law enforcement equipment cooperative (Sourcewell), and spinal implants and related surgical supplies (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). None of these procurements targets surgical mesh or tissue barriers as the code name denotes. The orthopedic hardware removal solicitation covers instrumentation systems for extracting implants and screws rather than mesh or barrier products; the spinal implants solicitation explicitly encompasses fusion devices, cages, rods, and screws but does not emphasize mesh or tissue barriers; and the law enforcement equipment RFP is entirely outside the surgical-product domain. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope.

The geographic distribution of the three opportunities spans California (San Mateo County), a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota and Washington, and Texas. Issuing bodies include a public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a regional cooperative purchasing authority (Sourcewell), and a university health system (UTHSA). The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due July 1, 2026) emphasizes orthopedic hardware extraction with five years of required vendor experience and ISO 13485 certification. The UTHSA RFP (due March 10, 2026, responses already closed as of the current date of July 20, 2026) required multi-award contracting for spinal implants and supplies to support approximately 240 annual cases at the newly opened Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plan submission. The Sourcewell cooperative (due June 16, 2026) established a framework for law enforcement equipment across thousands of governmental and nonprofit entities nationwide.
