UNSPSC 42292501: Surgical tamps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tamp during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical tamps under 21 CFR 888.4540 and under FDA product code HXG. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901990.

UNSPSC 42292501 Surgical tamps, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity the source identifies under this code. The five opportunities posted between March and July 2026 span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which constitute surgical tamps or closely related consumable surgical supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities tagged against it suggests either miscategorization at the point of posting or a systematic gap in how this jurisdiction or platform applies surgical-supply codes. None of the named opportunities — San Mateo County's OR equipment and staffing needs, California's outpatient building furniture, Sourcewell's law enforcement cooperative, or Nevada's phlebotomy services — fall within the surgical-tamp commodity line. A vendor pursuing surgical consumables under this code should verify category coding with issuing bodies before responding, as the evidence does not support active procurement of surgical tamps through this UNSPSC classification in the recent period.
