UNSPSC 42291619: Surgical tomes

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

UNSPSC 42291619 Surgical tomes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local activity, with no direct solicitations for surgical instruments themselves recorded in current procurement channels. The code's nominal scope—surgical cutting and dissecting instruments—does not align with the representative opportunities appearing in the most-recent-opportunities block, which cover broader medical supplies, physical health products, outpatient furniture, orthopedic hardware extraction services, and law enforcement equipment. State and local governments do purchase surgical instruments through group purchasing organizations and healthcare delivery systems, but this particular code does not surface in the sampled cooperative-purchasing or individual-agency solicitations from the past four months.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans California, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Washington through cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) and direct procurements by county health systems, but surgical tomes specifically do not appear in any of the identifiable solicitations. The mismatch between the code classification and actual procurement activity suggests either mis-tagging of opportunities in source databases or low current demand visibility for this specific commodity. Firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts should monitor cooperative-purchasing master agreements in medical supplies and surgical instrumentation through NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell portals, but this code does not currently signal active procurement of surgical instruments at the state and local level.
