UNSPSC 42295900: Stents

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilizing stents in medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42295900 Stents is a Class code that encompasses the provision of specialized implant systems and surgical instrumentation for spinal, cardiovascular, and orthopedic procedures to acute-care hospitals and health systems. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for comprehensive implant supply solutions across multiple surgical disciplines: spinal fusion and reconstruction systems, orthopedic hardware extraction and removal services, and related instrumentation on both bill-only and fee-for-service bases. Issuing bodies include large teaching hospitals and county-operated medical centers — the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Mateo Medical Center (a county hospital system), and other public acute-care facilities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles also feature prominently; Sourcewell, a Minnesota state and local government unit, recently issued a multi-jurisdiction RFP for law enforcement equipment that appears to have been tagged under this code despite its apparent scope mismatch with stent and implant procurement.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and California. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants and supplies on a bill-only basis for its newly opened 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with proposals due March 10, 2026 and a requirement for multi-awarded contracts with FDA-approved or CE-certified products, at least five years of vendor experience, emergency delivery within four hours, and mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plans. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, due July 1, 2026, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of experience with acute-care hospital support, Northern California technical support availability, and a 5–10 percent local-business preference under county ordinance. Both solicitations impose extensive compliance requirements including HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, and state-specific wage and vendor-conduct standards. Neither procurement disclosed incumbent vendors, minimum volume guarantees, or specific budget ranges.
