UNSPSC 42296101: Implantable aneurysm clips

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an implantable clip placed across the base, or neck, of the aneurysm to block the normal blood flow from entering in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Implantable aneurysm clips under 21 CFR 885.52 and under FDA product code HCH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42296101 Implantable aneurysm clips is a Commodity code that represents a significant disconnect between its abstract scope and current state and local procurement activity. Based on recent opportunities, this code does not reflect purchasing of implantable medical devices; instead, state and local issuing bodies are tagging occupational health services and law enforcement equipment procurement under this code. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services—baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry system locations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. Neither solicitation involves implantable aneurysm clips or any implantable medical device procurement by state or local health systems, hospital networks, or surgical facilities.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under UNSPSC 42296101 represent unrelated services and products—occupational medicine and law enforcement equipment—suggesting either miscoding by the issuing bodies or administrative tagging errors that do not reflect genuine demand for implantable aneurysm clips at the state and local level. No representative recent opportunities for the product named in the code exist in the source data. Vendors pursuing this code should verify scope and consider whether the code is being misapplied by specific jurisdictions, as the current activity does not support procurement business development targeting implantable cardiovascular devices.
