UNSPSC 42131721 Surgical instrument pouches is a Commodity code that encompasses medical equipment, devices, and supplies used in operating rooms and clinical settings. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement for a broader range of surgical and medical infrastructure—laser equipment and technical support, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance, intraosseous infusion systems, spinal implants, and ultrasound equipment—rather than pouches alone. The issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), educational institutions (Klein Independent School District, Valencia College, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other jurisdictions). The geographic spread spans California, Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Washington, with activity concentrated in counties operating acute-care hospital systems, higher-education medical programs, and emergency services.

Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County Medical Center's RFP for laser equipment and operating room technical support (due July 10, 2026), San Mateo County's five-year RFP for surgical power equipment to replace obsolete instruments (proposals due May 28, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for three-year maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilators estimated at $140,225 (bids due June 12, 2026), and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP for spinal implants on a bill-only basis for its new 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital (proposals due March 10, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) represents a multi-jurisdictional contracting vehicle available to participating entities across the United States and Canada. The code shows active procurement across hospital systems, educational medical programs, and emergency services, with emphasis on equipment replacement, maintenance contracts, and new-facility outfitting rather than consumable pouches or storage.
