UNSPSC 42293104: Surgical mouth gags

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a mouth gag during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical mouth gags under 21 CFR 874.4420 and under FDA product code KBN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293104 Surgical mouth gags is a Commodity code that captures specialized surgical instruments and equipment used in operating rooms. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, however, show minimal alignment with surgical mouth gags specifically; instead, procurement activity centers on broader surgical equipment, power tools, and laser systems for OR use, along with outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services. The code appears inactive for its nominal scope, with state and local buyers not currently soliciting surgical mouth gags as a distinct product line.

San Mateo County Medical Center dominates the recent activity, posting multiple RFPs for laser equipment and technical support (Solicitation 666002526250, due July 10, 2026) and surgical power equipment replacement (Solicitation 666002526249, due May 28, 2026, as an RFP with a five-year contract term). The State of California issued two separate RFBs for outpatient building furniture (RFBIS26200986 and RFBIS26200984, due June 9 and June 4, 2026 respectively), both carrying Certified Business Enterprise set-aside or participation requirements. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota counties and jurisdictions closed June 16, 2026, and the Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services for DUI collections in Douglas County (65DPSS3788, due April 16, 2026, with Carson Valley Health identified as the intended awardee). Geographic activity is concentrated in California and the Pacific Northwest, with no recent opportunities in other regions. The code shows no current demand signal for surgical mouth gags procurement at the state and local level.
