UNSPSC 42293106: Surgical retractor sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a retractor set during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical retractor sets under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code GAD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42293106 Surgical retractor sets is a Commodity-tier code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The five most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services for DUI blood draws — none of which are surgical retractor sets or closely related surgical hand instruments.

San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC), a fully accredited public hospital system, posted two RFPs in late June and early July 2026 for laser OR equipment with technical staffing and for surgical power instruments to replace obsolete power tools, both with five-year contract terms and proposals required through OpenGov eProcurement. The State of California issued two competitive bids in May 2026 for outpatient building furniture with CBE set-aside requirements and June response deadlines. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit acting as a cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of multiple Washington State counties and thousands of public entities nationwide, solicited law enforcement equipment proposals due June 16, 2026. The Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services for DUI blood draws in Douglas County with an April 2026 deadline; Carson Valley Health was identified as the intended vendor selected for negotiations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either a taxonomy classification error in the source data or that surgical retractor sets see minimal recent state and local procurement activity under this code designation. Firms targeting surgical instrument procurement should verify current opportunities directly rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
