UNSPSC 42291634: Surgical snare or snare wire accessories

Items used with surgical snares or snare wires

UNSPSC 42291634 Surgical snare or snare wire accessories, a Commodity code, nominally covers consumable surgical instruments, but state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal recent relevant activity. The single concrete opportunity in the recent pipeline is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Surgical Power equipment — a procurement that addresses powered surgical instruments and equipment replacement rather than snare wire accessories themselves. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (consumable snare wire products) and actual recent solicitation activity (capital equipment) suggests the code sees little focused state and local buying traffic or is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies.

San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital and clinic system in San Mateo County, California, released the Surgical Power RFP on May 7, 2026, with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, on a five-year contract basis. The procurement requires minimum five years' prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing of specified products; $1 million general liability and professional liability coverage; HIPAA Business Associate compliance; and adherence to San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour minimum. The evaluation scored proposals on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a five percent local-business preference available under County ordinance. No budget range or award value was disclosed. A second recent opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026 — carries no relevance to this Commodity code and confirms that the code shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement pipeline for surgical snare or snare wire accessories.
