UNSPSC 42293140: Surgical mouth gag accessories

UNSPSC 42293140 Surgical mouth gag accessories (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code appears underutilized in the opportunities available; recent solicitations tagged to this code primarily concern laser equipment for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient furniture procurement, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services—none of which constitute surgical mouth gag accessories or related surgical instrument components. State and local buyers acquiring surgical mouth gag accessories would typically solicit them as components within broader OR equipment and supplies contracts or through established medical supply frameworks, but no such activity is evident in the current opportunity set. When surgical instrument accessories do appear in state and local procurement, they are more commonly solicited under broader surgical supplies categories or as line items within larger medical equipment upgrades rather than as standalone commodity procurements.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code originate from San Mateo County (California), the State of California, Sourcewell (Minnesota cooperative serving multi-state jurisdictions), and Nevada State Police—representing a geographic spread across the West and upper Midwest. Issuing bodies include county health systems, state healthcare facilities, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and state law enforcement agencies. Representative recent activity includes San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for laser equipment and technical support for operating room use (posted July 10, 2026, due July 10, 2026) and a second SMMC RFP for surgical power equipment to replace obsolete instruments (posted June 29, 2026, with original submission deadline May 28, 2026). These solicitations require vendors to meet HIPAA compliance, Living Wage Ordinance standards, and background clearance; neither explicitly discloses contract value. The absence of recent standalone surgical mouth gag accessory solicitations suggests this commodity code receives limited procurement activity at the state and local level, or that acquisitions under this category are bundled within broader medical equipment contracts not individually tracked at the commodity level.
