UNSPSC 42144400: Nonsurgical suction products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in non-surgical suction based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42144400 Nonsurgical suction products is a Class code covering specialized medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment procured by state and local health systems, educational institutions, and county medical centers. Recent solicitations under this code diverge markedly from the nominal taxonomy label—state and local buyers are actually procuring advanced diagnostic ultrasound systems, surgical power instruments, laser equipment for operating rooms, ventilator maintenance and repair services, intraosseous infusion systems, and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies include public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center, Hillsborough County), county health departments (Marion County), educational institutions with clinical programs (Valencia College), and regional cooperative purchasing organizations (Sourcewell). The work spans equipment procurement on a sole-source basis for specialized clinical training, competitive solicitation for replacement of obsolete surgical instruments, preventative maintenance and repair contracts with certified technician requirements, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative frameworks for standardized purchasing.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with secondary activity in Minnesota-based cooperative procurement reaching Washington state and national jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Valencia College's sole-source procurement of a Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System ($96,093.00, response date November 13, 2025) for its Diagnostic Medical Sonography program; San Mateo County's RFP for surgical power equipment (five-year term, proposals due May 28, 2026) requiring five years of prior manufacturing, sales, or leasing experience and offering local-business preference of five to eight percent; Hillsborough County's ITB for three-year Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance and repair services ($140,225.00 estimated value, bids due June 12, 2026) restricted to authorized Vyaire service centers holding ISO 13485:2016 certification; Marion County's seven-day procurement notice for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems (posted May 4, 2026, due May 11, 2026); and Sourcewell's multi-state RFP for law enforcement equipment (proposals due June 16, 2026). Compliance requirements commonly include background clearance, fingerprinting, Living Wage Ordinance adherence in California jurisdictions, HIPAA obligations, and specific insurance minimums.
