UNSPSC 42295903: Urological stents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stent conformed for urological procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Urological stents under 21 CFR 876.4620 and under FDA product code FAD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42295903 Urological stents is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized surgical supplies and extraction systems for urological and orthopedic procedures, though recent solicitations posted under this code diverge significantly from the nominal commodity scope and instead reflect acquisition of broader orthopedic hardware removal services, spinal implant systems, and law enforcement equipment. The most substantial recent activity captures hospital systems and health science centers procuring comprehensive surgical implant lines and specialized extraction instrumentation on bill-only and fee-for-service bases, with emphasis on product quality, vendor qualification, emergency delivery capability, and compliance with health care privacy and safety standards including HIPAA, ISO 13485 certification where required, and Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting plans in Texas procurements.

Recent opportunities posted under the code span California and Texas health systems plus a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle anchored in Minnesota and Washington. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 (due March 10, 2026) for spinal implants and related surgical supplies including cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral constructs, artificial discs, pedicle screws, and interbody fusion devices for its 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with multi-award structure and estimated volume of approximately 240 spinal cases annually. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 (due July 1, 2026) for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on a three-year term, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, universal compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers, and technical support within Northern California, with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent available. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) nominally for law enforcement equipment but available to thousands of governmental entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows sparse recent activity that is poorly aligned with its stated urological-stent scope.
