UNSPSC 42291718: Reprocessed/ sustainable surgical hand drill chuck or key or related accessory

In this classification, this commodity indicates a Reprocessed (Reprocessing medical devices is a process that involves cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and other procedures to make used devices safe for reuse) or Sustainable (made with recycled materials) product that is either a part or an accessory associated with a surgical hand drill.

UNSPSC 42291718 Reprocessed/sustainable surgical hand drill chuck or key or related accessory is a Commodity code that describes replacement parts and accessories for surgical power instruments, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The posted solicitations span medical equipment procurement across health care delivery systems — ultrasound machines, laser equipment for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment, and intraosseous infusion systems — but none directly address reprocessed or sustainable surgical hand drill chucks, keys, or related accessories. The issuing bodies are primarily county health systems and special districts: San Mateo County Medical Center (two separate RFPs for surgical laser equipment and surgical power), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ventilator maintenance), Valencia College School of Allied Health (ultrasound system procurement), Marion County (EZ-IO infusion systems), and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide (law enforcement equipment). The code shows little relevant recent activity directly matching its intended commodity definition.

Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County), Florida (Hillsborough County, Valencia College in Orange County, Marion County), and a multi-state cooperative procurement under Sourcewell centered in Washington and Minnesota. Response dates range from May 2026 through November 2026, with the San Mateo County surgical power RFP (Solicitation 666002526249) requiring proposal submission by May 28, 2026, and the Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP (061626) due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. The mismatch between the code's stated focus on reprocessed surgical hand drill accessories and the actual procurement activity under this code suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this commodity code as a catch-all for diverse medical and surgical equipment categories. Firms pursuing business in surgical instrument accessories or reprocessed medical device components should verify the accuracy of this code assignment before investing in response preparation.
