UNSPSC 42295906: Esophageal stents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stent conformed for esophageal procedures in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42295906 Esophageal stents, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single opportunity tagged under this code involves orthopedic hardware extraction systems for surgical procedures, not esophageal stents; San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued RFP 666002526252 in July 2026 seeking proposals for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis, with responses due July 1, 2026. The remaining recent solicitations in the dataset—a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment and a University of Texas Health Science Center RFP for spinal implants—bear no connection to esophageal stents or the medical device scope this code nominally represents. The mismatch between the code definition and the orthopedic opportunity suggests either a tagging error by San Mateo County or that the code is used inconsistently by state and local procurement offices.

Activity under this code is too sparse in recent postings to characterize issuing-body mix or geographic concentration. The single healthcare procurement—the San Mateo Medical Center request—requires ISO 13485:2016 certification, five years of experience with acute-care hospital support, service availability within Northern California, and carries a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The contract term is three years from execution. Beyond this one orthopedic-focused solicitation, no recent state or local procurement activity directly addressing esophageal stents or devices matching the code's name appears in the source material. Vendors tracking this code should monitor whether state and local health systems (hospital networks, academic medical centers) begin issuing targeted solicitations for esophageal stent supply or whether the code continues to see minimal relevant activity.
