UNSPSC 42312309: Wound irrigation systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a system consisting of products, consumables and accessories that are used to execute a wound irrigation procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Wound irrigation systems under 21 CFR 878.4780 and under FDA product code OMP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42312309 Wound irrigation systems (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of the six opportunities tagged to this code in the source block, only one—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026—addresses medical equipment and consumables relevant to wound care and clinical supplies. The remaining five opportunities concern underground utility locating, travel sprinkler irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, irrigation system mainline upgrades, and disaster debris removal services; these are plainly unrelated to wound irrigation systems and suggest either misclassification in the procurement database or systematic use of the code to tag broader medical-equipment and supply categories that fall outside the code's intended commodity definition.

The one directly relevant opportunity—the Texas HHS solicitation—structures a blanket purchase agreement for nine line items of specialized medical supplies and equipment including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps, with an estimated one unit per item and potential for increased quantities based on program needs. The contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with HHSC and the Department of State Health Services both authorized to utilize any resulting contract. Bidders must meet firm and fixed pricing on the Exhibit C pricing sheet, with price adjustments permitted at HHSC's sole discretion based on CPI-W, CPI-U, or Federal Minimum Wage increases. The sole issuing body pursuing this code appears to be the Texas state health system, and Texas dominates the recent activity block. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement landscape suggests that firms pursuing wound irrigation systems specifically should verify code classification with state and local procurement offices rather than relying on UNSPSC 42312309 as a reliable search criterion for opportunities in this commodity.
