In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform ventriculostomy procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ventriculostomy kits under 21 CFR 882.43 and under FDA product code HBG. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295520 Ventriculostomy kits, a Commodity code, describes specialized neurosurgical medical equipment that state and local governments procure primarily through emergency medical services and fire rescue departments as part of broader EMS supply contracts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring ventriculostomy kits alongside trauma supplies, airway management devices, IV equipment, and diagnostic tools—often as line items within larger annual or multi-year medical supply agreements rather than standalone procurements. The code sees activity across county EMS systems, city fire departments, and regional emergency management divisions. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city fire rescue departments, and county fire and rescue services, with examples such as Williamson County (Texas), Henry County (Georgia), Orange County (Florida), Bernalillo County (New Mexico), and Tucson Fire Department representing the typical buyer profile. These jurisdictions solicit medical supplies through IFB, RFB, and ITB notices, often bundling ventriculostomy kits with hundreds of other medical line items and expecting vendors to meet fill rates, delivery windows, expiration-date minimums, and inventory management system integration.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Williamson County (Texas) issued IFB 26IFB63 for EMS Medical and Pharmaceutical Items on July 15, 2026, with responses due August 4, 2026—a representative solicitation that typically names ventriculostomy kits among the required supplies. Henry County (Georgia) posted BID #26-34 on July 7, 2026 (responses due April 8, 2026) for miscellaneous medical supplies for its Fire Department, requiring bidders to integrate with UCAP and Operative IQ inventory systems and maintain a web-based tracking platform. Orange County (Florida) solicited Y25-1067-KS for EMS Equipment for Fire Rescue covering 94 line items of medical supplies with a response deadline of October 14, 2025 (posted July 1, 2026), structured as a requirements contract with seven-day delivery expectations. Bernalillo County (New Mexico) issued RFB 46-26-JM on April 29, 2026 for approximately 266 core EMS medical products with an estimated annual value of $240,000 and responses due May 21, 2026. Vendors pursuing this code should expect multi-item line-sheet pricing, firm fixed-price models, performance bonds where contract values exceed $50,000, and compliance with FDA, OSHA, and state pharmacy regulations; recent solicitations emphasize integrated inventory management capability, minimum 12- to 18-month shelf life from delivery, and rapid fill rates as competitive differentiators.
