UNSPSC 42291636: Surgical trocar for general use accessories

Accessories included with general use surgical trocars.

UNSPSC 42291636 Surgical trocar for general use accessories is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The source contains five recent state and local contract opportunities posted between May and October 2026, but none directly procure surgical trocars or related medical device accessories. Instead, the opportunities span fiber splicing services, broad medical supplies through cooperative purchasing, retinal screening devices, physical health products, and law enforcement equipment — none of which map to surgical instrument procurement.

The only opportunity with partial relevance to medical device procurement is San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services (due November 6, 2026), which involves portable diagnostic equipment, EPIC EHR integration, training, maintenance, and HIPAA compliance for outpatient clinics and acute care across San Mateo and Burlingame, California. The broader medical supplies RFP through NASPO ValuePoint (due November 9, 2026) is sponsored by Idaho and available to participating entities nationwide, but the source does not detail whether surgical instruments or trocars are included in the product categories. No opportunities explicitly solicit surgical trocars, general surgical accessories, or related instrument procurement at the state or local level. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either misclassification in the source data or a genuine absence of current state and local procurement demand for surgical trocar accessories.
