UNSPSC 42292300 Surgical bending irons and crimpers and pliers and tensioners and wrenches and related products is a Class code covering hand and power tools used in surgical and medical applications. Recent state and local activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope — the posted opportunities name laser equipment, surgical power instruments, hospital furniture, and law enforcement equipment, none of which map to bending irons, crimpers, pliers, or tensioners. The issuing bodies include San Mateo County (through San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital system), the State of California, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative). When present, these procurements are framed as RFPs or RFBs with compliance requirements including HIPAA obligations, Living Wage Ordinances, prevailing wage standards where applicable, and insurance coverage specifications.

The geographic spread centers on California (San Mateo County and statewide through California Department of General Services) and a multi-state cooperative procurement administered by Sourcewell with participating entities in Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP 666002526249 for Surgical Power equipment issued May 7, 2026 with a May 28, 2026 proposal deadline and five-year contract term; San Mateo County's RFP 666002526250 for laser equipment and OR technical support with an August 21, 2026 due date; and Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, administered through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows little relevant recent activity — the tagged opportunities are unrelated to the code's stated scope of surgical hand tools and related products.
