UNSPSC 42331301: Organ Transplant

Kits for use during Organ Transplant procedures.

UNSPSC 42331301 Organ Transplant, Commodity tier, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The posted opportunities span occupational medicine, emergency medical services, behavioral health, specialty pharmacy, blood services, dialysis, podiatry, cancer registry operations, athletic training, and opioid use disorder treatment—none of which involve organ transplantation, procurement of donor organs, or transplant-specific surgical services. The mismatch between the nominal code scope and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that state and local bodies are using this code to classify unrelated healthcare service procurement more broadly. No recent opportunities reflect actual organ transplant activity.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities represent a wide cross-section of state and local purchasing: state health and human services commissions (Texas, Nevada, Mississippi, District of Columbia), county departments and boards of commissioners (Escambia, San Mateo, Bernalillo, Forsyth, Collier, Seminole, Los Angeles, Boulder, Sarasota, Wichita, Phoenix, Sedgwick), city procurement and risk-management offices (Santa Monica, Phoenix, Arlington, Dallas, Tucson, Chicago), independent school districts (Birdville), public universities (Texas A&M, Mississippi University for Women, Otero College), medical centers and health care agencies (San Mateo Medical Center, Ventura County Health Care Agency), and regional authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan, Washington State Ferries, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). Recent activity is concentrated in Texas (multiple HHSC and city solicitations), California (San Mateo, Los Angeles, San Bernardino), Colorado (Boulder, Otero), Florida (Escambia, Seminole, Sarasota), and Kansas (Sedgwick/Wichita), with scattered smaller-value procurements across Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Illinois, Washington, and other states. The most common pattern is as-needed or requirements contracting for occupational and emergency medical services, behavioral health, and specialty clinical support rather than high-volume commodity or equipment procurement. The code shows active state and local spending on clinical and ancillary healthcare services, but the nominal Organ Transplant classification bears no relationship to what is actually being bought.
