UNSPSC 42296005: Annuloplasty rings

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a implant to reform leaky mitral valves by conforming to the the edge of the valve in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Annuloplasty rings under 21 CFR 870.38 and under FDA product code KRH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42296005 Annuloplasty rings is a Commodity code that names a specific cardiac surgical device, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not actually procure annuloplasty rings or any related medical device inventory. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825, posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026, solicits occupational medical surveillance services — baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with examinations performed or supervised by a board-certified occupational medicine physician and results delivered within 60 days. Sourcewell's RFP 061626, posted May 12, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026, procures law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties and public entities across multiple states. Neither opportunity aligns with annuloplasty rings, cardiac surgery devices, or hospital supply chains. The code shows little relevant recent state and local activity and appears to be mistagged in the opportunities listed.

Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not present a clear procurement avenue for vendors supplying cardiac surgical devices to state and local buyers at this time. Business development professionals pursuing annuloplasty ring sales should verify the correct UNSPSC classification and monitor procurement channels that actually source medical devices and surgical supplies for state health systems, county hospitals, and regional medical procurement cooperatives rather than rely on activity under this code.
