UNSPSC 42295911: Peripheral stents

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

UNSPSC 42295911 Peripheral stents is a Commodity code that encompasses vascular and peripheral stents used in surgical and interventional procedures; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct alignment with peripheral stents themselves. Instead, state and local buyers have tagged solicitations for orthopedic hardware extraction systems, law enforcement equipment, and spinal implants under this code—a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured. The one opportunity with some relevance to implantable devices is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, which involves retrieval of implanted screws, nails, and related hardware across multiple manufacturer platforms; this is ancillary to stent or peripheral vascular work rather than core. The broader activity under this code does not reflect a cohesive market for peripheral stents at the state and local level. Issuing bodies that have posted opportunities tagged to this code include a county health system (San Mateo County), a state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), and a university health science center (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), but their actual procurements address orthopedic extraction, law enforcement supplies, and spinal implants respectively.

Geographic activity is scattered across California, Minnesota/Washington, and Texas, but the code shows no concentrated or repeated buying pattern for peripheral stents. San Mateo Medical Center's orthopedic hardware extraction RFP closed July 1, 2026, with responses evaluated on project approach, firm qualifications, team qualifications, and price; the contract includes a three-year term and requires ISO 13485:2016 certification and $5 million cyber liability coverage. The University of Texas Health Science Center's spinal implants RFP (due March 10, 2026) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement (due June 16, 2026) are similarly unrelated to peripheral stents. State and local buyers do not appear to be actively procuring peripheral stents under this code at present; the category shows material tagging errors rather than genuine market activity.
