UNSPSC 42290000: Surgical products

In this classification, this family includes the products used in the portion of medical interactions that involve surgical procedures.

UNSPSC 42290000 Surgical products is a Family code that spans equipment, consumables, and related services state and local governments purchase for operating rooms, emergency departments, and specialty surgical facilities—ranging from laser systems and power instruments to unit-dose packaging, blood pressure cuffs, defibrillators, and maintenance services. Recent activity shows county health systems and public hospitals as the primary issuing bodies, with school districts and specialized medical centers represented at lower frequency. The code encompasses both capital equipment procurement (laser systems, ventilators, defibrillators) and consumables contracts (blood pressure cuffs, surgical supplies, infusion systems), as well as maintenance and technical support services tied to surgical equipment already in use.

County health systems and municipal hospitals dominate recent solicitation volume, with San Mateo County Medical Center posting multiple RFPs for laser equipment and surgical power instruments; Hillsborough County soliciting ventilator maintenance services and blood pressure cuff supplies; Santa Clara County requesting ophthalmic instruments and accessories; and New Hampshire, Marion County, Florida, and other states issuing RFPs and RFBs for AEDs, infusion systems, and pharmaceutical packaging equipment. A cooperative purchasing RFP from the Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) targeting full-line medical supplies distributors shows demand aggregated across approximately 8,000 government members nationwide with roughly $300 million in collective annual purchasing power. Cobb County School District, Klein ISD, and Los Fresnos ISD have posted for AEDs and general clinic supplies, indicating school district engagement. Geographic spread includes California (San Mateo, Santa Clara), Florida (Hillsborough, Marion, Collier), New Hampshire, Minnesota, Georgia, and Texas, with activity concentrated in large urban counties and regional health authorities. Recent representative opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP for laser equipment and OR technical support (due July 10, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for ventilator maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire LTV 1200 units over three years at an estimated $140,225 (due June 12, 2026), and the MMCAP cooperative purchasing RFP for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors to serve 8,000 government members nationwide (due July 20, 2026). Most opportunities are structured as RFPs, RFBs, and ITBs with response windows of two to four weeks and evaluation criteria emphasizing vendor qualifications, technical capability, compliance certifications (ISO 13485 for medical device maintenance, HIPAA for patient data handling), and pricing competitiveness.
