UNSPSC 42293507: Surgical suction reservoirs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a suction reservoir during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical suction reservoirs under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code OCX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293507 Surgical suction reservoirs is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities span laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo County), surgical power instruments (San Mateo County), outpatient building furniture (State of California, two separate projects), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and phlebotomy services for DUI investigations (Nevada State Police). Only the first two opportunities relate to surgical or OR-centered procurement; the remainder fall outside the surgical suction reservoir category entirely. State and local buyers using this code appear concentrated among California county health systems and state health facilities, with sporadic activity from other jurisdictions.

The source reveals no recent solicitations for surgical suction reservoirs specifically. San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC) issued an RFP for laser equipment and operating room technical staffing (due July 10, 2026) and an RFP for surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment (due May 28, 2026, with a five-year contract term), both of which address OR-focused procurement but not suction reservoir supplies directly. The State of California issued two separate IFBs for outpatient building furniture in May 2026 (due dates June 4 and June 9, 2026) with CBE set-aside provisions, neither related to surgical consumables or equipment. The code shows insufficient recent activity in its stated commodity area to characterize a meaningful procurement pattern, issuing-body distribution, or geographic concentration. Firms tracking this code should monitor whether state and local health systems begin consolidating surgical supply procurement or whether mislabeling reflects a broader data-quality issue in the state and local taxonomy.
