UNSPSC 42295553 Autonomous organ or tissue substitute is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged under this code do not match the category's definition — one solicitation covers occupational medical surveillance services (medical examinations and evaluations for ferry workers), and the other is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment. Neither involves autonomous organ or tissue substitutes, engineered replacement tissues, or related medical devices. The mismatch between the code label and actual buying activity suggests this Commodity code sees little or no relevant state and local demand, or that issuing bodies are applying it inconsistently across unrelated service and product families.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations; the other opportunity is a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) issued May 12, 2026 due June 16, 2026 for law enforcement equipment to serve thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, with no direct relevance to autonomous tissue substitutes. Absent a broader dataset of state and local opportunities under this code, no reliable characterization of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or market activity is supported by the source material provided.
