UNSPSC 42295518: Graft protectors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a fabric or tube used to protect a graft from contamination or to restricts movement around the graft to promote healing in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295518 Graft protectors (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve law enforcement equipment, cardiac rhythm management implants, and spinal surgical implants—none of which represent graft protectors as typically understood in medical device terminology. The law enforcement equipment solicitation from Sourcewell does not detail specific product categories and may reflect a broad tagging error. The cardiac and spinal implant opportunities, while representing surgical implants, do not reference graft protection as a primary or secondary function.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Texas, Washington, and a multistate cooperative procurement framework through Sourcewell. The University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) issued RFP #784-03-26-001 for cardiac rhythm management devices with a response deadline of April 29, 2026; the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants with a response deadline of March 10, 2026; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. The lack of true graft protector solicitations suggests the code may see limited relevant activity in state and local procurement, or recent opportunities have been misclassified.
