UNSPSC 42293404: Surgical pushers

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

UNSPSC 42293404 Surgical pushers, a Commodity code, covers surgical hand instruments and equipment support services for operating room use, though recent state and local activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with pushers alone. State and local healthcare systems procure OR equipment and technical staffing through this taxonomy, encompassing laser systems, power instruments, and associated installation and maintenance support. The issuing bodies are primarily county-operated public hospitals and health systems, with San Mateo County Medical Center appearing as a repeat buyer in the available recent opportunities. The scope of work includes equipment procurement combined with qualified technical staffing to support surgical procedures, vendor compliance with HIPAA and facility credentialing requirements, and in some cases replacement of obsolete surgical power instruments.

San Mateo County Medical Center issued two distinct RFPs in the second and third quarters of 2026: an RFP for laser equipment and OR technical support (Solicitation 666002526250, posted July 10, 2026, due originally June 10, 2026) and an RFP for surgical power equipment replacement on a five-year contract term (Solicitation 666002526249, posted June 29, 2026, due May 28, 2026, RFP released May 7, 2026). The surgical power RFP explicitly required five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing of specified products; $1 million per-occurrence general and professional liability insurance; cyber liability coverage of $5 million; and compliance with San Mateo County's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance, which awards five percent additional points to local businesses and nonprofits, plus three to eight percent for small and micro businesses. The sourcing geographic footprint for recent activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo County) and Nevada (a March 2026 phlebotomy services procurement by Nevada State Police), with limited evidence of multi-jurisdictional OR equipment procurement activity in the recent sample.
