UNSPSC 42131729 Surgical masks for laser surgery is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The source contains seven recent opportunities tagged under this code, but six of them—ventilator maintenance (Hillsborough County), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), EZ-IO infusion systems (Marion County), CTE and advanced academics (Klein ISD), ultrasound machines (Valencia College), and spinal implants (UTHSA)—are plainly unrelated to surgical masks for laser surgery. Only two opportunities from San Mateo County Medical Center reasonably align with the code's scope: an RFP for laser equipment and technical support for operating room use (posted July 10, 2026, response due June 10, 2026) and an RFP for surgical power equipment (posted June 29, 2026, response due May 28, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the majority of tagged opportunities signals that state and local procurement systems apply this code inconsistently or that it is rarely solicited directly.

San Mateo County Medical Center appears to be the only recent buyer genuinely active in OR-related surgical equipment and supplies. Both SMMC opportunities focus on equipment provision and technical staffing rather than consumable masks, and neither procurement summary explicitly references surgical mask supply. Geographic activity is limited to California (San Mateo County) based on the relevant opportunities. Given the sparse and misaligned record, this code shows little substantive recent procurement activity worth pursuing at this time—businesses focused on surgical mask supply to state and local healthcare providers should monitor other codes aligned more directly with consumable surgical supplies and PPE.
