UNSPSC 42293004: Surgical sizing instruments or templates

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a sizing instrument or template during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42293004 Surgical sizing instruments or templates (Commodity) covers surgical equipment and support services for operating room use, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a wider range of surgical infrastructure procurements than the narrow commodity name suggests. State and local buyers under this code include county-operated hospital systems and state health agencies managing capital facility projects. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital system, has posted two active procurements: one for laser equipment and technical support for OR operations (RFP, posted July 10, 2026), and a second for surgical power equipment to replace obsolete instruments (RFP with a five-year term, proposal deadline May 28, 2026). The surgical power solicitation requires five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing of similar equipment; general liability, professional liability, and cyber liability insurance at specified minimums; and compliance with San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance ($17.00 per hour floor with annual CPI-U adjustments capped at 3.5 percent) and California prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Proposals are scored on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a five percent local business preference and three to eight percent small or micro business adder available under San Mateo's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance.

Geographic activity centers on California, particularly the San Francisco Bay Area where San Mateo County Medical Center is driving recent demand. The California State health facilities program posted two additional furniture procurements for outpatient building projects with CBE set-aside or participation requirements (RFBs posted May 20, 2026, with deadlines June 4 and June 9, 2026), though these are tangential to surgical instruments. A Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) and a Nevada DUI phlebotomy services contract (Nevada State Police, April 16, 2026, with Carson Valley Health as the intended vendor) also carry this code tag but show minimal relevance to the surgical instruments and equipment theme. The San Mateo County opportunities represent the only directly relevant activity and indicate active capital investment in surgical facility modernization and equipment replacement within California public hospital systems.
