UNSPSC 42293304: Surgical spreaders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a spreader during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293304 Surgical spreaders (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code. The five opportunities posted since March 2026 include laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which directly concern surgical spreaders or closely related surgical hand instruments. This code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the nominal commodity (surgical spreaders) and the work being solicited suggests either a cataloging inconsistency in the source data or a code that sees minimal state and local procurement volume.

The opportunities that do appear span disparate issuing bodies and geographies. San Mateo County Medical Center (California) posted two RFPs in June and July 2026 for laser equipment with technical support and surgical power equipment replacement, each with response deadlines in late May and early June. The State of California issued separate IFBs in May 2026 for outpatient building furniture with CBE set-aside requirements and submission deadlines in early June. Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, released an RFP in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services in March 2026 for the Minden-Gardnerville area, with Carson Valley Health identified as the intended award. This fragmented set of solicitations offers no signal of consistent state and local demand for the commodity nominally described by this code.
