UNSPSC 42296110: Implantable brain stimulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stimulator which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to specific parts of the brain (brain nucleus) for the treatment of movement and affective disorders. in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296110 Implantable brain stimulators (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code — the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it involve cardiac rhythm management devices (pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators), spinal implants, and law enforcement equipment, none of which fall within the scope of neural or cerebral implantable devices that the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems or that brain stimulator procurement occurs infrequently enough that these divergent solicitations were miscoded. No solicitations explicitly targeting implantable brain stimulators appear in the current market activity.

The single cardiac-device opportunity that approaches the implant category — University Medical Center of El Paso's RFP #784-03-26-001 for cardiac rhythm management devices, due April 29, 2026 — targets dual-vendor agreements for pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices rather than neurological implants. The spinal-implant opportunity from University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (RFP 745-26-P04) and the Sourcewell law-enforcement cooperative (RFP #061626) are similarly outside the brain-stimulator category. Absent recent, properly coded state and local activity for implantable brain stimulators, pursuit under this code would require direct outreach to teaching hospitals, specialized neurology centers, and state health systems known to perform neurosurgery and deep-brain-stimulation procedures rather than response to posted solicitations.
