UNSPSC 42291717: Surgical hand drill bits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is an accessory associated with a surgical hand drill. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42291717 Surgical hand drill bits is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show substantial mismatch: San Mateo County Medical Center solicited laser equipment and technical support for operating room use (RFP, posted July 10, 2026), surgical power equipment to replace obsolete power instruments (RFP, posted June 29, 2026), and the State of California posted furniture procurement for outpatient buildings (IFB, posted May 20, 2026). The Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services for DUI investigations (posted March 26, 2026), and Sourcewell issued a cooperative purchasing RFP for general law enforcement equipment (posted May 12, 2026). None of these opportunities directly concern surgical hand drill bits or similar surgical instruments, suggesting the code classification does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently flowing through the system under this tag.

State and local issuing bodies using this code span county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), state healthcare agencies (California), state police and public safety (Nevada State Police), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdiction utility (Sourcewell serving Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions). The geographic spread covers California, Nevada, Washington, and Minnesota. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal commodity scope and the opportunities actually posted under it, this code warrants monitoring for clarification or reclassification rather than active pursuit at this time.
