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, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted since May 2026 — a NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies master-agreement RFP, a Bryan County cardiac-monitor IFB, and a Sourcewell law-enforcement-equipment RFP — do not specifically reference nasal splints or stents. The NASPO posting establishes a cooperative-purchasing vehicle for medical supplies broadly across state and local entities but does not itemize commodity categories, and the Bryan County and Sourcewell solicitations target cardiac monitors and law enforcement gear respectively, categories outside the code's intended scope. State and local procurement systems appear to use this code infrequently or apply it inconsistently to the actual goods being purchased.

Without recent opportunities demonstrating active demand for nasal splints or stents from state and local buyers, the code does not show a clear market signal. The geographic and issuing-body data drawn from these three posted opportunities — NASPO across multiple states with South Dakota administering, Bryan County in Georgia, and Sourcewell covering Pacific Northwest counties and nationwide jurisdictions — reflects the broader purchasing vehicles rather than demand specific to this commodity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should confirm whether their state or local customers are actually buying nasal splints or stents under this UNSPSC designation, as recent posting activity suggests limited current procurement under the code's true scope.
