UNSPSC 42296000: Cardiovascular implants

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized as cardiovascular implants.

UNSPSC 42296000 Cardiovascular implants is a Class code under which state and local health systems and cooperative purchasing bodies procure cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy devices (CRT-Ds and CRT-Ps), and leadless pacemakers for implantation in patient care settings. Recent solicitations show health systems establishing dual-vendor frameworks to achieve competitive pricing while ensuring product availability and clinical support; the University Medical Center of El Paso is evaluating vendors on clinical product portfolio, physician experience and ease of use, cost, vendor support and implementation, and comprehensive assortment of sizes. State and local buyers under this code include public teaching hospitals and county hospital districts operating medical centers. The procurement typically involves RFPs with multi-vendor award structures, virtual pre-submittal meetings, and evaluation timelines spanning three to six weeks following response deadlines.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with the University Medical Center of El Paso (operated by the El Paso County Hospital District) issuing RFP #784-03-26-001 for a dual-vendor CRM implants framework with proposals due April 29, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline; this solicitation appears misaligned with the cardiovascular implants code scope and does not represent relevant recent activity. The El Paso procurement requires vendors to submit clinical outcome evidence, on-site clinical support capabilities, and three vendor references, with evaluation weighted 35 percent to product quality, 25 percent to cost, 20 percent to physician experience, 10 percent to vendor support, and 10 percent to assortment breadth. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified in available documentation, and award values are not disclosed.
