UNSPSC 42292503: Surgical impactors or packers

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

UNSPSC 42292503 Surgical impactors or packers is a Commodity code that nominally covers hand-held surgical instruments used in orthopedic and other procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show limited activity directly aligned with the code's core scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo County Medical Center), surgical power instruments for replacing obsolete equipment (San Mateo County Medical Center), outpatient building furniture (State of California, two separate procurements), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of multiple counties and agencies), and phlebotomy services for DUI blood collection (Nevada State Police). Only the surgical power instrument procurement has clear relevance to surgical procedure support, while the furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy procurements appear to be miscoded against this Commodity classification.

San Mateo County Medical Center emerges as the most active buyer under this code in the recent window, issuing two related RFPs in May and June 2026: the Surgical Power opportunity (due May 28, 2026, five-year contract term, RFP format) seeking proposals to replace obsolete power instruments and the Laser equipment and Techs for the OR opportunity (due June 10, 2026, RFP format) for laser systems and qualified technical support. Both procurements impose Living Wage Ordinance compliance ($17.00 per hour minimum), HIPAA and Section 504 accessibility requirements, fingerprinting and background clearances, and the Surgical Power RFP adds California prevailing wage applicability and a five percent local business preference under San Mateo County's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance (with additional three to eight percent points for small or micro businesses). The State of California's furniture procurements (May 2026, IFB format, due June 4–9) include CBE set-aside or participation requirements. The code shows primary recent activity concentrated in California (San Mateo County and state-level), with secondary activity in Nevada and Minnesota-sponsored cooperative purchasing; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and several of the tagged opportunities signals potential classification inconsistency in the source system rather than genuine procurement volume under surgical impactors or packers.
