UNSPSC 42312102: Ostomy appliances

In this classification, this commodity indicates an appliance used to create the alteration of tissue required in an ostomy procedure done in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ostomy appliances under 21 CFR 876.59 and under FDA product code EXB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300691.

UNSPSC 42312102 Ostomy appliances is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. State and local governments procuring under this code seek ostomy supplies—pouches, barriers, adhesives, and related appliances for colostomy, ileostomy, and urostomy management—typically for distribution through health departments, correctional facilities, veterans' services, or Medicaid programs. The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county health departments, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles; acquisitions occur through master-agreement RFPs that pool demand across multiple jurisdictions to achieve volume pricing and standardized terms.

The most recent opportunities do not show direct ostomy-appliance procurement. NASPO ValuePoint (administered by South Dakota) issued RFP 1433 on September 25, 2026, with proposals due November 9, 2026, to establish master agreements for medical supplies across state and local entities, but the specific commodity categories within that umbrella are not detailed in the posting. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services to Washington State Ferries personnel across 14 ferry locations—a clinical occupational-health service unrelated to ostomy appliances. Sourcewell (State of Minnesota) issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment to multiple Washington counties and national jurisdictions—likewise outside the scope of this code. The available recent-opportunities data shows no active RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically for ostomy appliances. Firms pursuing this code should monitor NASPO ValuePoint and state health-department solicitations for master-agreement roll-outs, as cooperative purchasing vehicles remain the primary channel for this commodity in state and local procurement.
