UNSPSC 42293509: Surgical irrigation sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with surgical irrigation sets. US FDA regulates surgical irrigation sets or accessories under 21 CFR 888.11 and under FDA product code HRX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293509 Surgical irrigation sets (Commodity) describes disposable and reusable irrigation sets used in surgical procedures, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the nominal scope. San Mateo County Medical Center has posted RFPs for laser equipment and surgical power instruments for operating room use, and the State of California has issued IFBs for outpatient building furniture and a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment — none of which constitute surgical irrigation sets or closely related surgical consumables. The Nevada State Police procurement for phlebotomy services in Douglas County likewise falls outside the code's intended scope. The mismatch between the code label and the actual procurements posted suggests either miscoding in the source system or that this particular Commodity code sees limited activity in state and local procurement right now. Based on the available records, this code shows little relevant recent activity to assess buying patterns, issuing-body mix, or market concentration.

The five opportunities posted since May 2026 span California (two state-level outpatient furniture bids with CBE set-asides), San Mateo County (two surgical equipment RFPs), Minnesota (a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment serving multiple states), and Nevada (a phlebotomy services RFP). None of these procurements concern surgical irrigation sets, and the diversity of commodity types and jurisdictions does not establish a coherent procurement signal under this code. Vendors pursuing this code should verify coding accuracy in issuing systems before investing in pursuit strategy or proposal development.
