UNSPSC 41122409: Laboratory tools

UNSPSC 41122409 Laboratory tools is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure surgical power equipment, diagnostic instruments, and related medical devices for hospital and clinic use. The code sees activity across hospital systems, county health departments, and public medical centers that maintain acute-care and outpatient facilities. San Mateo Medical Center's recent RFP for surgical power equipment replacement illustrates the scope: procurement of powered instruments used in operating rooms and surgical suites, with vendors required to demonstrate five years of manufacturing, sales, or leasing experience in the specified product category. Work under this code centers on equipment acquisition and occasionally related service or leasing arrangements, with compliance requirements including HIPAA business associate obligations, prevailing wage where applicable, and comprehensive insurance coverage (general liability, professional liability, and cyber liability where health information is handled).

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, where San Mateo County Medical Center issued an RFP (Solicitation 666002526249) with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026 and a five-year contract term, scoring proposals on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with local business and small-business preferences awarding up to 13 percent additional points under San Mateo County's procurement preference ordinance. The code shows limited recent state and local solicitation activity; the second opportunity in the source (Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment) is not aligned with the laboratory tools code scope and appears to be a tagging mismatch. No other recent opportunities under this code are present in the source.
