UNSPSC 42293503: Surgical vacuum extraction devices or curettes or related products

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as vacuum extraction devices or curettes or related products in association with a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42293503 Surgical vacuum extraction devices or curettes or related products is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge substantially from this scope — the five most recent postings involve laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, outpatient building furniture (multiple tranches), surgical power instruments, and law enforcement equipment, none of which align with the code's nominal focus on obstetric and gynecological vacuum extraction or curettage devices. The opportunities actually being solicited under this code do not reflect the product category the code is designed to describe.

San Mateo County Medical Center and the State of California are the issuing bodies represented in the recent postings. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for Surgical Power equipment (due May 28, 2026) and an RFP for laser equipment and operating room technical support (due June 10, 2026), both seeking five-year or ongoing contracts with compliance requirements including HIPAA, prevailing wage, and local business preference bonuses of 5 to 8 percent. The State of California issued four consecutive RFBs for outpatient building furniture (due dates ranging from June 4 through August 18, 2026), each incorporating Certified Business Enterprise set-aside or participation requirements. Activity is concentrated in California, with one Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment spanning multiple Washington counties. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be misaligned with what state and local buyers are actually purchasing under this classification.
