UNSPSC 42131719 Surgical surgeon caps or hoods is a Commodity code that nominally addresses protective headwear for surgical personnel; however, the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant alignment with that scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, a cooperative purchasing vehicle through the State of Minnesota on behalf of multiple Washington counties and thousands of governmental entities nationwide, soliciting law enforcement equipment broadly — a category bearing no clear connection to surgical caps or hoods. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catchall classification where it does not fit the work actually being purchased. No recent opportunities in the block describe the acquisition of surgical headwear or related medical protective equipment by state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, or transit authorities.

The absence of aligned recent opportunities under this code signals low activity in the state and local space for surgical caps or hoods procurement. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 closed June 16, 2026, and targets law enforcement equipment solutions available to participating public entities across Washington state, the broader United States, and Canada — a scope and asset class entirely distinct from surgical protective wear. Business development professionals should verify whether this code genuinely reflects state and local demand for surgical headwear or whether opportunities in this product line are tagged differently across state procurement systems.
