UNSPSC 42293006: Surgical measuring tapes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a measuring tape during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical measuring tapes under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code FTY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 907080.

UNSPSC 42293006 Surgical measuring tapes is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code address laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which involves surgical measuring tapes or related measurement instruments. The mismatch between the code's defined product and the solicitations indexed under it suggests either miscoding in the source system or that the code's classifier is applying a broad definition of surgical or medical instrumentation that does not align with procurement practice. State and local jurisdictions posting these opportunities include San Mateo County (operating San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital and clinic system), the State of California (for outpatient facility furniture), Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and regional counties, and the Nevada State Police.

Geographic activity in the recent block concentrates in California (San Mateo County and statewide), Washington and regional jurisdictions served through the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle, and Nevada. No opportunities directly solicit surgical measuring tapes or closely related products. Without material evidence of recent state and local procurement under this code's actual scope, the code warrants monitoring for future activity rather than active pursuit.
