UNSPSC 42293405 Surgical manipulating instruments is a Commodity code covering operating room surgical equipment, power tools, and associated technical support services that state and local health care systems and public hospitals procure to replace aging surgical inventory and expand OR capability. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring surgical laser equipment with technical staffing, surgical power instruments to replace obsolete tools, phlebotomy services for evidence collection, and furniture for outpatient clinical spaces — a mix reflecting how public health systems tag diverse healthcare procurement across a single code. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital and clinic system, has posted multiple RFPs for surgical equipment and replacement power instruments on a five-year contract term with a proposal submission deadline of May 28, 2026. Issuing bodies include county-operated public hospitals and clinics, state healthcare capital projects, state law enforcement agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell) serving multiple jurisdictions; San Mateo County appears as a repeat buyer across at least two opportunities in the recent window.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (San Mateo County public hospital system and state health facility capital projects) and Nevada (phlebotomy services for the State Police). A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle based in Minnesota is also active, offering law enforcement equipment to participating entities across multiple states including Washington and numerous U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions, though that opportunity appears tangential to the surgical instruments scope. San Mateo County Medical Center's RFP for Surgical Power equipment (Solicitation 666002526249) represents the most directly aligned recent opportunity, with a five-year contract term, RFP format, and deadline of May 28, 2026; proposers must demonstrate five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing similar products, maintain specified insurance coverage (general liability $1,000,000 per occurrence, professional liability $1,000,000 per occurrence/$3,000,000 aggregate, cyber liability $5,000,000), comply with the Living Wage Ordinance ($17.00 per hour minimum), and satisfy California prevailing wage requirements when applicable. San Mateo County applies a Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance offering five percent additional evaluation points to local businesses and nonprofits, with an additional three or eight percent for qualifying small or micro businesses.
