UNSPSC 42293413: Surgical implant locator

A device that externally locates implants.

UNSPSC 42293413 Surgical implant locator (Commodity) does not align with the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code. The five recent opportunities span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which match the nominal scope of surgical implant locators. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the product category it describes.

San Mateo County and San Mateo Medical Center issued two RFPs in the past month for OR-related equipment (laser equipment and surgical power instruments), the State of California posted two furniture bids in May 2026, Sourcewell on behalf of participating counties in Washington and other jurisdictions issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment, and the Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement suggests either tagging inconsistency or that the code has been repurposed in practice by these issuing bodies. Vendors evaluating pursuit should verify whether state and local procurement offices in their target markets use this code meaningfully for surgical implant locators before building pipeline activity around it.
