UNSPSC 42312402: Nasal splints or stents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stent or splint intending to locate and form the nasal passage after a surgical or other nasal medical procedure has been don in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Nasal splints or stents under 21 CFR 874.4780 and under FDA product code LYA. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42312402 Nasal splints or stents is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity in the dataset is a Sourcewell (State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 for "Law Enforcement Equipment – SW" with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. This solicitation does not address nasal splints or stents; instead it seeks law enforcement equipment for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and the actual scope of work indicates that this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement for the medical device category it nominally describes.

The Sourcewell RFP represents a cooperative purchasing vehicle administered through a participating addendum model, with submission required exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. No information is available regarding set-aside designations, budget ranges, award values, or specific issuing-body repeat buyers focused on nasal splints or stents. Geographic scope spans Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) as named participants in the Sourcewell cooperative, but the law enforcement equipment focus of this opportunity provides no signal about state or local procurement demand for the medical device category the code intends to cover. Interested vendors should contact Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930 for clarification, or submit questions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal's Q&A feature.
