UNSPSC 42295534: Otologic implants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a otologic 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 42295534 Otologic implants is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code all concern medical implants outside the otologic scope — cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, leadless pacemakers), spinal implants (fusion constructs, interbody devices, pedicle screws, artificial discs), and law enforcement equipment. The code's nominal scope (ear-related implants such as cochlear devices or osseointegrated hearing implants) does not appear in the recent solicitation record, suggesting either a tagging mismatch or absence of current state and local demand for otologic implant procurement.

When medical implant activity does appear under this code, it originates from public health systems and state-level higher education institutions. The University Medical Center of El Paso (El Paso County Hospital District, Texas) issued RFP #784-03-26-001 for dual-vendor CRM implant supply (due April 29, 2026); the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants on a bill-only basis (due March 10, 2026); and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, counties, and school districts across multiple states (due June 16, 2026). Recent activity clusters in Texas, though the Sourcewell cooperative spans Washington state and multi-jurisdictional participation nationally. The code's actual procurement signal appears limited and misaligned with its nominal otologic classification.
