In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a medically related stapler for external useUS FDA regulates Medical staplers for internal use under 21 CFR 878.4750 and under FDA product code gdw. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42312009 Medical staplers for internal use is a Commodity code that nominally covers surgical fastening devices, but the recent state and local activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual medical stapler procurement. The single recent opportunity in the record — Sourcewell RFP #061626 — is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment, which falls outside the medical device scope. The mismatch suggests that either the opportunity was miscoded at posting or that medical staplers are a minor line item within a broader law enforcement equipment bundle. State and local issuers soliciting under this code appear limited to cooperative purchasing vehicles and their participating member jurisdictions, though the source does not identify standalone medical stapler procurement activity.

Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The solicitation is open to Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, with the contract framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Submissions are required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations or specific award values are disclosed in the available documentation. The geographic scope spans Washington state and extends nationwide through Sourcewell's multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing model. Absent evidence of dedicated medical stapler solicitations, the code shows limited active procurement under its nominal scope in the recent state and local market.
