UNSPSC 42295533: Nasal implants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a nasal implant used in a surgical implantation procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42295533 Nasal implants (Commodity) encompasses medical device procurement by state and local healthcare systems, but recent solicitation activity under this code does not align with nasal implant products; instead, the tagged opportunities reflect broader medical implant and surgical supply contracting by public hospitals and teaching health systems. State and local healthcare buyers—primarily public teaching hospitals and academic medical centers—solicit implant devices through formal RFPs to establish multi-vendor frameworks that balance cost, clinical outcomes, physician preference, and supply continuity. The University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) represent the issuing-body mix: both are public teaching hospitals operating under county hospital districts and university systems respectively, procuring through competitive sealed proposals with defined evaluation criteria and multi-award strategies to ensure competitive pricing and product availability.

Recent activity centers on Texas. The University Medical Center of El Paso issued RFP 784-03-26-001 in March 2026 to establish a dual-vendor framework for Cardiac Rhythm Management implantable devices (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, and leadless pacemakers), due April 29, 2026, with evaluation weighted 35% product quality, 25% cost, 20% physician ease of use, and 10% vendor support. 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 newly opened 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with proposals due March 10, 2026, and mandatory HUB subcontracting plan requirements. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (061626) posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment does not reflect medical implant procurement and appears misfiled under this UNSPSC code. The code shows limited and misaligned recent activity; decision relevance is low unless your firm supplies cardiac rhythm management or spinal implant devices to public teaching hospitals in Texas.
