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 that nominally covers suction collection and containment equipment used in operating rooms and surgical settings. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevant activity — the five most recent solicitations from San Mateo County Medical Center, the State of California, and Sourcewell address laser equipment and technical support for OR use, outpatient building furniture procurement, surgical power instruments, and law enforcement equipment. None of these opportunities involve surgical suction reservoirs or related fluid-management consumables. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code carries little current procurement demand among state and local buyers, or that issuing bodies are tagging healthcare capital and equipment purchases under codes that do not align with the specific product category.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on California (San Mateo County Medical Center and State of California facilities procurement) and extends to multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state and regional county entities. Without recent opportunities directly soliciting suction reservoirs or related consumables, this code presents limited market visibility for vendors focused on surgical suction collection equipment. Business development professionals should monitor this code for future activity but should not expect near-term procurement momentum based on the current opportunity window.
