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 represents surgical instruments and equipment used in operating rooms and surgical centers, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows primarily medical-supplies cooperative purchasing vehicles and ancillary surgical-services solicitations rather than standalone surgical instruments. State and local governments soliciting under or near this code include cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), county hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and individual state agencies (California). The work being solicited spans established medical-supplies master agreements available to multiple state and local entities, physical health products and related services, orthopedic hardware removal and extraction systems for acute-care hospitals, and healthcare facility furnishings and equipment — a scope broader than surgical cutting blocks alone and reflecting how state and local procurement offices bundle surgical and medical equipment into larger commodity families and cooperative-purchasing arrangements.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the West and upper Midwest. NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies (due November 9, 2026) is administered by South Dakota and open to state and local entities nationwide through a cooperative structure; Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP102026 for physical health products and related services (due October 20, 2026) is based in Minnesota and serves its participating entities; San Mateo Medical Center (California) issued RFP 666002526252 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services (due July 1, 2026, now closed); and California issued RFB-IS-27200016 for outpatient building furniture (due July 28, 2026, now closed). No solicitation explicitly named surgical cutting blocks or boards as the primary deliverable, suggesting the code may see limited standalone procurement activity or may be underutilized in practice by state and local jurisdictions purchasing these items through broader medical-equipment or surgical-supplies vehicles.
