UNSPSC 42142308: Surgical instrument inventory RFID tracking systems

Instrumentation used in surgical procedures is a major facility expenditure. Advanced sterilization and disinfection electronic and RFID tracking systems provide information about the instruments throughout their life cycle.

UNSPSC 42142308 Surgical instrument inventory RFID tracking systems is a Commodity code that identifies radio-frequency identification systems for tracking and managing surgical instrument inventory in healthcare settings. State and local procurement activity under this code is sparse. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations directly aligned with RFID-based surgical instrument tracking. Instead, the sourced opportunities span medical supplies (BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, medical aid supplies, EMS equipment), pharmacy benefit management, healthcare facility operations (aquatic center management), occupational health services, ophthalmic instruments, medical equipment and supplies (oxygen therapy, hospital medication dispensing systems), simulation mannikins for training, and group purchasing organization membership. None of these solicitations address the specific scope of surgical instrument RFID inventory systems, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted under it suggests minimal current market activity for this commodity at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies in the sourced opportunities represent a broad cross-section of state and local government—state departments (Colorado Department of Human Services, Ohio Board of Health, Texas), counties (Collier County Florida, Williamson County Texas, Marion County Florida, Santa Clara County, Clay County Florida), cities (Palm Bay Florida, Tucson Arizona, Owensboro Kentucky, Dallas Texas, Denver Colorado, Tampa Florida), school districts (Parkway School District), healthcare systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and educational institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas Southern University). No repeat buyers appear in the block, and no entries specifically reference surgical instrument tracking or RFID inventory management systems. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Colorado, Ohio, California, Kentucky, Arizona, Wisconsin, and other states, but this geographic spread does not correspond to demand for the coded commodity.
