UNSPSC 42295603: Cerebrospinal fluid drain or kit

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 a lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drainage procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Lumbar cerebrospinal fluid drains or kits under 21 CFR 862.1660 and under FDA product code JJY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295603 Cerebrospinal fluid drain or kit is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialized medical drainage devices for neurological procedures. However, the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under this code shows minimal relevance to the code's actual scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026, encompasses gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and other enteral and parenteral delivery equipment—none of which align with cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The remaining five recent opportunities in the source (utility locating, irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, college irrigation mainline upgrades, and disaster debris removal) bear no connection whatsoever to the code's nominal commodity. The mismatch suggests either upstream tagging errors or that this code sees little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level.

No recent state and local opportunities directly solicit cerebrospinal fluid drains or kits. The single opportunity that touches medical supplies—the HHSC solicitation—does not specify cerebrospinal fluid drainage equipment among its line items. Given the narrow clinical application and specialized nature of the commodity, demand may be concentrated in large health systems, state hospital networks, or specialized purchasing cooperatives rather than distributed across the general state and local procurement landscape that typically generates the opportunities tracked in this dataset. Organizations requiring such equipment are likely to source through established medical device distributors, group purchasing organizations, or direct manufacturer relationships rather than through broad-market competitive solicitations.
