UNSPSC 42296004 Tricuspid valves is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities recorded under it show no procurement of tricuspid valves or other cardiac valve products. Instead, the three most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve law enforcement equipment (through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties), cardiac rhythm management implantable devices including pacemakers and defibrillators (University Medical Center of El Paso), and spinal implants and surgical supplies (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). The code assignment appears misaligned with the actual procurements; the opportunities reflect medical device procurement by public hospital systems and cooperative purchasing frameworks for law enforcement equipment, neither of which corresponds to the tricuspid valve product line the code nominally represents.

State and local government activity under this code shows little relevant recent purchasing. The University Medical Center of El Paso issued RFP #784-03-26-001 on March 30, 2026, with proposals due April 29, 2026, to establish a dual-vendor framework for cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers, ICDs, and related products) with evaluation weighted 35% on product quality, 20% on physician experience, 25% on cost, and 10% each on vendor support and product assortment. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted RFP 745-26-P04 on January 29, 2026, with a March 10, 2026, response deadline, for spinal implants and surgical supplies on a bill-only basis for a newly opened 144-bed hospital, requiring mandatory HUB subcontracting plans and multi-award to several qualified vendors. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026, deadline, to procure law enforcement equipment for use across participating Washington counties and other public jurisdictions. The code shows no actual tricuspid valve procurement activity in the recent opportunity record.
