UNSPSC 42293510: Carts for suction machines or appliances

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cart for suction machine or appliance during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42293510 Carts for suction machines or appliances is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity under its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the code's named product — suction machine carts for medical settings — and instead reflect healthcare facility procurement for surgical equipment, power tools, laser systems, and outpatient furniture. State and local buyers using this code classification include San Mateo County (operating San Mateo Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital system) and the State of California (for capital facility projects). The mismatch between the code label and the actual scope of solicited work suggests either classification drift in state and local procurement systems or tagging inconsistency by issuing bodies.

Recent activity shows San Mateo County issuing RFPs for surgical power equipment (proposal deadline May 28, 2026) and laser equipment with technical support for operating room use (proposal deadline June 10, 2026), both framed as five-year contracts with compliance requirements including HIPAA, Living Wage Ordinance adherence, and background clearance for personnel. The State of California posted multiple IFBs for outpatient building furniture (due dates ranging from June 4 through August 18, 2026) with Certified Business Enterprise participation requirements. A separate Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment, also tagged under this code, was due June 16, 2026 and targets thousands of participating governmental agencies across Washington state and beyond. The code shows activity primarily in California and Washington, though the Sourcewell vehicle extends national reach. The divergence between the code's nominal product category and the healthcare facility equipment and furniture actually being solicited indicates this code is not a reliable indicator of suction-cart procurement activity in state and local markets.
