UNSPSC 42293309: Surgical depressors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a depressor during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42293309 Surgical depressors is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. State and local procurement records show no recently posted opportunities specifically for surgical depressors or closely related surgical hand instruments. The five opportunities tagged under this code span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo County), surgical power instruments (San Mateo County), outpatient furniture (California state), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and phlebotomy services (Nevada State Police) — none of which represent the depressor instruments the code nominally covers. The mismatch between the code designation and actual solicitation scope suggests either cataloging inconsistency or obsolete code assignment in the state and local procurement systems.

The limited relevant activity comes from San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated public hospital system, which posted two RFPs in late May and early June 2026 for surgical equipment and technical services. The county applies a local business preference ordinance awarding additional points to local San Mateo County and San Francisco City vendors, and enforces Living Wage Ordinance requirements and HIPAA compliance across all contracts. No opportunities for surgical depressors specifically appear in California, Nevada, Minnesota, or other jurisdictions in the current record. Given the absence of targeted procurement for this commodity and the misalignment of recent postings, this code does not present active pipeline demand at this time.
