UNSPSC 42131719: Surgical surgeon caps or hoods

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a cap or hood by medical staff in a surgical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 650100.

UNSPSC 42131719 Surgical surgeon caps or hoods, a Commodity code, nominally covers head coverings for surgical personnel, yet the most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies (due November 9, 2026) seeks master-agreement bidders for broad medical-supplies commodity categories through a multi-state cooperative-purchasing vehicle administered by South Dakota, but does not specify surgical headwear as a line item. The Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical-surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) solicits physician-led occupational health services across 14 Washington ferry locations — a service offering unrelated to surgical caps. A Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing RFP for law-enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) covering Washington and Minnesota counties is likewise outside the surgical-headwear scope. These misfiled or tangentially related opportunities suggest the code sees little active state and local procurement focused on surgical surgeon caps or hoods.

Recent activity under this code spans cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) and a state transportation agency, with geographic concentration in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, South Dakota, Minnesota) among the visible solicitations. None of the posted opportunities identify surgical caps or hoods as a primary procurement focus or line item, making it difficult to assess genuine market demand for this commodity within state and local government. Practitioners should verify whether state and local buyers are tagging surgeon caps under alternative UNSPSC codes or whether this commodity sees procurement activity predominantly outside state and local channels.
