UNSPSC 42291716: Surgical punch or punch holder accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an accessory for a punch or punch holder used during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical punches or punch holders under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EME. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule surgical punch or punch holder accessories under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42291716 Surgical punch or punch holder accessories, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The five opportunities posted between March and July 2026 are substantially unrelated to surgical punch instruments or their accessories: two solicitations concern laser equipment and surgical power tools for operating room use; two address outpatient building furniture; and one covers law enforcement equipment. Only the phlebotomy services opportunity touches clinical procurement, but falls outside the code's stated category. State and local governments may purchase surgical punch accessories through medical equipment and supplies contracts, but the recent-opportunity record does not support active solicitation under this specific commodity code.

San Mateo County Medical Center (California) and the State of Nevada appear in the recent postings, alongside a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) spanning Washington state and beyond. Geographic activity centers on California and Nevada with cooperative-purchasing reach across multiple U.S. states and Canadian jurisdictions. No representative opportunities directly match surgical punch or punch holder accessories; bidders evaluating this code should verify whether their product falls under related medical instrument or supplies codes rather than this commodity classification, and monitor whether healthcare system procurements will shift taxonomy coding toward 42291716 in future solicitation cycles.
