UNSPSC 42295522: Implantable nerve stimulator systems or kits

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 implantable nerve stimulation procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Implantable nerve stimulator systems or kits under 21 CFR 868.2775 and under FDA product code BXN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295522 Implantable nerve stimulator systems or kits (Commodity) captures medical device procurement by state and local health systems, though recent solicitations suggest the code is being applied to a broader range of implantable cardiac and spinal devices than the name alone indicates. State and local governments and public health systems purchase pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, and comprehensive spinal implant systems including fusion constructs, artificial discs, and associated instrumentation through this code. Issuing bodies include university-affiliated public teaching hospitals (University Medical Center of El Paso, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating counties and jurisdictions), and multispecialty hospital networks. These health systems typically solicit through RFP, establishing multi-vendor or dual-vendor frameworks to manage competitive pricing and product availability across surgical specialties while maintaining clinical quality and continuity of care.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants on a bill-only basis for its newly opened 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with proposals due March 10, 2026, and the University Medical Center of El Paso in El Paso County issued RFP 784-03-26-001 for dual-vendor cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and leadless pacemakers) with a proposal deadline of April 29, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide for law enforcement equipment with responses due June 16, 2026 — though this opportunity appears misaligned with the implantable nerve stimulator scope. Both Texas health systems weighted vendor proposals on product quality, clinical outcomes, cost, and vendor support, and the UTHSA spinal implants RFP mandates submission of a Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan as a requirement to advance to evaluation.
