UNSPSC 42292302: Surgical crimpers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a crimper during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42292302 Surgical crimpers (Commodity) covers specialized surgical tools and equipment used in operating room settings, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code reflects broader surgical equipment and facility infrastructure needs rather than crimpers specifically. State and local health systems, particularly county-operated medical centers and state healthcare facilities, are the primary buyers. San Mateo County Medical Center has emerged as a repeat issuer, soliciting both laser equipment with technical support for OR use (RFP, posted July 10, 2026) and surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment (RFP, released May 7, 2026, with proposals due May 28, 2026). These procurements indicate demand for modern surgical instrumentation, qualified technical staffing, and equipment replacement cycles at accredited public hospital systems. Vendors must comply with HIPAA requirements, background clearance and fingerprinting certification, Living Wage Ordinance standards, and facility integration with existing hospital infrastructure. The California State Health Facilities program has also posted multiple furniture-related solicitations for outpatient buildings (RFBs due June 4 and June 9, 2026) with CBE set-aside requirements, indicating broader capital investment in surgical and clinical facility equipment.

Activity under the code concentrates in California, particularly the San Francisco Bay Area and state healthcare facilities. San Mateo County Medical Center's dual surgical equipment solicitations suggest sustained investment in OR capabilities and vendor relationships in that region. The State of California's outpatient building procurements add secondary geographic weight to the state. A Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) and a Nevada Department of Public Safety phlebotomy services contract (Solicitation 65DPS-S3788, with Carson Valley Health identified as the intended award in April 2026) appear in the dataset but fall outside the nominal scope of surgical crimpers and equipment. The actual opportunity base under this code appears concentrated in hospital system OR equipment and facility upgrades, with California's San Mateo County and state healthcare capital programs as the most active recent issuers.
