UNSPSC 42291610: Surgical planes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a plane during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42291610 Surgical planes, a Commodity code, describes hand-held cutting instruments used in surgical and orthopedic procedures. State and local governments procure these tools primarily through healthcare systems and hospital networks for operating-room use, typically as part of broader surgical-instrument or orthopedic-hardware contracts. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal product category. The State of California solicited furniture for an outpatient building, San Mateo Medical Center sought orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services, Sourcewell issued a cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment across multiple states, and Klein Independent School District requested career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources. None of these represent procurement of surgical planes or related hand-held surgical instruments. The code shows little recent relevant activity in state and local procurement channels.

The geographic dispersion of the misfiled opportunities spans California, Minnesota and Washington (through Sourcewell's multistate cooperative vehicle), and Texas, but these solicitations do not reflect actual market demand for surgical planes. Without recently posted opportunities that align with the code's nominal scope of hand-held surgical cutting instruments, no representative procurement examples, issuing-body patterns, or geographic concentration can be established for this Commodity code at this time.
