UNSPSC 42295909: Laryngeal stents

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

UNSPSC 42295909 Laryngeal stents (Commodity) covers medical devices and surgical supplies procured by state and local health systems, though recent opportunities show substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity. The three recent solicitations under this code span orthopedic hardware extraction systems (San Mateo Medical Center, RFP), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and spinal implants (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, RFP) — none of which are laryngeal stents. The code appears to function as a catch-all medical device and equipment category for state and local health procurement offices rather than a device-specific classification. Issuing bodies include county-operated health systems, state university medical centers, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state public entities.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services with proposals due July 1, 2026, requiring five years of experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, and Northern California service availability under a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants and related surgical supplies for its newly opened Multispecialty and Research Hospital, with proposals due March 10, 2026, requiring five years of experience and mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plan submission; the contract is multi-awarded across several vendors on a bill-only basis. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — a procurement unrelated to the code's medical device scope. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; business development professionals should verify actual commodity classifications before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
