UNSPSC 42291702: Surgical hand reamers or awls

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a hand reamer or awl during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42291702 Surgical hand reamers or awls is a Commodity code that nominally covers hand-powered or hand-held surgical instruments used in orthopedic and general surgery for bone reaming and drilling. Recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevant procurement activity; the five opportunities on file span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and phlebotomy services for DUI investigations. None of these solicitations concern surgical hand reamers or awls, indicating a significant mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being solicited.

The code shows little active state and local demand for the product itself. With no recent, relevant opportunities to characterize issuing-body type, geographic concentration, or representative work scope, this Commodity code does not support a near-term pursuit strategy in state and local procurement.
