UNSPSC 42295528: Myringotomy procedure kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295528 Myringotomy procedure kits is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code are not myringotomy kits or ear-related surgical supplies; instead, they span cardiac implantable devices, spinal implants and instrumentation, and law enforcement equipment. The code appears to be a catch-all or misfiled tag in state and local systems for medical device and equipment procurement more broadly, rather than a genuine market signal for myringotomy-specific products.

The three most recent opportunities demonstrate this mismatch plainly: Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota local government service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and Canada; the University Medical Center of El Paso (El Paso County Hospital District, Texas) issued RFP #784-03-26-001 in March 2026 seeking dual vendors for cardiac rhythm management implantable devices including pacemakers and defibrillators; and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 in January 2026 for spinal implants and surgical supplies on a bill-only basis for its new 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital. Neither the cardiac device procurement nor the spinal implant procurement relate to myringotomy kits. State and local buyers using this code appear to be applying it incorrectly or the code has been repurposed in practice. Firms pursuing genuine myringotomy kit opportunities should verify that opportunities tagged under this code actually match their product scope before responding.
