UNSPSC 42292901: Surgical cerclage instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cerclage instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical cerclage instruments under 21 CFR 888.3010 and under FDA product code JDQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42292901 Surgical cerclage instruments is a Commodity-tier code with little recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal connection to surgical cerclage instruments—the actual procurements span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo Medical Center), surgical power equipment replacement (San Mateo County), outpatient building furniture (State of California), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), and phlebotomy services (Nevada State Police). Only the laser and surgical power solicitations touch operating room and surgical contexts, but neither targets cerclage instruments specifically. The code appears to capture orthopedic or surgical closure supplies in its taxonomic intent, yet current demand signals reflect broader surgical equipment, furniture, and ancillary health services rather than specialized cerclage products.

Activity is concentrated in California and involves San Mateo Medical Center and the State of California as repeat soliciting bodies, with isolated activity in Nevada and through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative vehicle. The most concrete recent opportunities are San Mateo County's RFP for surgical power equipment with a May 28, 2026 proposal deadline and a five-year contract term, and the State of California's two IFBs for outpatient building furniture with June 4 and June 9, 2026 bid deadlines—both carrying CBE set-aside requirements. No recent opportunities show direct solicitation of cerclage instruments, suggesting that this code is either underutilized for its intended commodity or that state and local surgical supply procurement flows through group purchasing organizations, group contracts, or broader medical supply frameworks not reflected in individual RFP postings. Firms targeting this code should verify whether state health systems and surgical centers source cerclage products through cooperative agreements or national GPO contracts rather than standalone procurements.
