UNSPSC 42292104 Surgical combination inserters extractors, a Commodity code, sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers specialized surgical hand instruments for insertion and extraction during procedures, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span laser equipment and technical staffing for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with the code's stated scope. San Mateo County Medical Center accounts for two of the five opportunities on record, both soliciting via RFP: one for laser equipment and OR technical support posted July 10, 2026 with a due date of July 10, 2026, and another for surgical power instruments posted June 29, 2026 with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026. The remaining opportunities include State of California outpatient furniture bids, a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment on behalf of Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions, and a Nevada State Police phlebotomy services solicitation. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurements suggests either tagging error at the issuing body or significant scope drift in how this commodity code is being applied in practice.

Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County and State of California) and Pacific Northwest jurisdictions participating in the Sourcewell cooperative, with one Nevada procurement. The San Mateo opportunities carry Living Wage Ordinance compliance, HIPAA and Section 504 requirements, and in the surgical power case, a five-year contract term with local business preference (five percent additional points for local businesses, plus three percent for small businesses or eight percent for micro businesses). None of the solicitations disclose specific budget ranges or award values. If your firm specializes in surgical hand instruments, this code does not currently reflect relevant procurement activity; the recent opportunities suggest either systematic miscoding or that end-user demand for combination inserters extractors is being sourced through different codes or cooperative vehicles not captured here.
