UNSPSC 42293002: Surgical measuring gauges or rods or depth stops

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

UNSPSC 42293002 Surgical measuring gauges or rods or depth stops is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it show little connection to the code's nominal scope. The five most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code involve laser equipment and OR technical support, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services—none of which are surgical measuring gauges, rods, or depth stops. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or a taxonomy-application issue in the underlying procurement database; the code does not reflect actionable state and local buying activity in surgical measurement instruments at this time.

San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital system, is the repeat buyer in the visible record, with two recent RFPs: one for laser equipment and OR technical support (due July 10, 2026) and one for surgical power equipment replacement (due May 28, 2026, five-year contract), both subject to Living Wage Ordinance compliance and HIPAA requirements. The State of California issued two requests for bids on outpatient furniture (due June 9 and June 4, 2026, respectively), both carrying Certified Business Enterprise set-aside provisions. Sourcewell, acting on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions, solicited law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026). The Nevada State Police sought phlebotomy services for DUI collections in Douglas County (due April 16, 2026), with Carson Valley Health named as the intended awardee. Geographic activity concentrates in California (San Mateo County, State of California) and the Pacific Northwest, with scattered Nevada procurement. Business development professionals should treat this code as currently misaligned with actual market activity and verify correct code assignment in any targeting strategy.
