UNSPSC 42295809: Surgical thermal ablation electrodes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a ablation electrode during a surgical thermo ablation procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295809 Surgical thermal ablation electrodes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses orthopedic hardware extraction and removal systems, spinal implants and instrumentation, and related surgical supplies for acute-care hospitals and medical centers. State and local governments buying under this code procure specialized surgical devices and support services—including orthopedic extraction systems compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, spinal implant constructs across cervical through sacral regions, interbody fusion devices, pedicle screws, and associated instrumentation—on a bill-only or as-needed service basis. Issuing bodies include public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), university health science centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating counties and municipal entities). Vendors selling under this code must typically hold five years of minimum experience providing the relevant implant or extraction systems, FDA approval or CE certification for implant products, and ISO 13485:2016 certification or equivalent; they must also maintain service and technical support capacity within their geographic region and comply with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility requirements, and state prevailing-wage or living-wage standards.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 in January 2026 (due March 10, 2026) for spinal implants and supplies on a bill-only basis for a newly opened 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital, seeking multi-awarded contracts and requiring a mandatory Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan with 240 spinal cases estimated annually and emergency delivery within four hours. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP (solicitation 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and a three-year contract term requiring $1,000,000 general liability and products-liability insurance plus $5,000,000 cyber liability. Sourcewell, representing multiple Washington and Minnesota counties, posted RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing structure, though the scope does not align closely with the surgical thermal ablation electrode taxonomy and represents limited relevant recent activity under this code.
