UNSPSC 42291608: Surgical cutting blocks or boards or platforms

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cutting block, board, or platform during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42291608 Surgical cutting blocks or boards or platforms is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicit under sporadically and without consistent alignment to the code's surgical-equipment nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains four records posted between April and July 2026, but only one—San Mateo Medical Center's June 2026 RFP for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services—relates to surgical or medical instrumentation; the other three (California furniture procurement for an outpatient building, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative RFP, and Klein ISD's career technical education instructional resources RFP) are unrelated to surgical cutting blocks or surgical platforms. The one relevant opportunity shows state and local health systems buying specialized orthopedic extraction services bundled with technical support and case management, not discrete surgical cutting blocks. The code shows little current procurement activity aligned to its stated commodity category; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local solicitations signals minimal relevant market activity under this classification.

San Mateo Medical Center in California issued the sole recent opportunity with direct relevance to surgical or medical instrumentation. The RFP (Solicitation 666002526252, due July 1, 2026) sought a three-year term orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system for on-demand surgical use, requiring five years' prior experience, ISO 13485:2016 certification, Northern California technical support availability, and compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, living wage requirements ($17.00 per hour), and corporate compliance standards. San Mateo County offered a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The procurement emphasizes service delivery and technical support for removal of orthopedic implants and hardware across multiple manufacturers, not procurement of discrete surgical cutting devices or platforms. No other state or local jurisdictions in the recent opportunities block solicited goods or services consistent with the code's stated scope.
