UNSPSC 41122407: Laboratory scalpels

UNSPSC 41122407 Laboratory scalpels (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code. San Mateo County's San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Surgical Power equipment — motorized surgical instruments for facility use — on June 29, 2026 with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, and Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating public entities across the United States and Canada, with a submission deadline of June 16, 2026. Neither opportunity involves procurement of hand-held surgical scalpels or related cutting instruments; the code's nominal scope does not match the work actually being solicited.

The San Mateo Medical Center opportunity requires proposers to demonstrate five years of prior manufacturing, sales, or leasing experience, maintain general liability and professional liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence, and comply with California's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour minimum and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement requirements. San Mateo County applies a local business preference of five percent, with additional points for small or micro businesses. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment spans five Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and thousands of other governmental and public entities nationwide, but the available solicitation materials do not identify specific equipment categories, budget ranges, or set-asides. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the opportunities recently posted under it, this code shows little relevant recent activity for laboratory or surgical scalpel procurement.
