UNSPSC 42295904: Vaginal or uterine stents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stent conformed for vaginal or uterine procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Vaginal or uterine 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 42295904 Vaginal or uterine stents, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code are orthopedic hardware extraction system services (San Mateo County), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and spinal implants (University of Texas Health Science Center). None of these acquisitions involve vaginal or uterine stents, indicating a significant classification mismatch. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code incorrectly for unrelated medical device and equipment categories.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span a county health system, a state cooperative purchasing vehicle, and a university health science center — a mix typical of health-related procurement but not specific to the code's stated scope. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP for orthopedic hardware removal services (due July 1, 2026) requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and five years of experience, with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent; UTHSA posted an RFP (due March 10, 2026) for spinal implants and surgical supplies on a bill-only basis with mandatory HUB subcontracting plans; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued an RFP (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states. Activity is concentrated in California and the Upper Midwest and South, but the actual scope under this code does not support a reliable forward-looking strategy. Vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under 42295904.
