UNSPSC 42293511: Medical or surgical suction or vacuum appliance accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with medical or surgical suction or vacuum appliances. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293511 Medical or surgical suction or vacuum appliance accessories is a Commodity code that covers replacement parts, connectors, tubing, filters, and related peripheral equipment for surgical suction systems used in operating rooms and acute-care settings. State and local procurement activity under this code is driven primarily by public hospital systems and county health departments seeking to maintain and upgrade OR infrastructure. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code are county-operated medical centers and state health facility management offices, with San Mateo County's public hospital system appearing as a repeat buyer in recent months.

Recent opportunities under this code are sparse and lack direct alignment with the nominal code scope. The most visible recent solicitations tagged to this code—San Mateo County's RFP for laser equipment and surgical power (posted May 2026 and June 2026, with deadlines in late May and June), and California's competitive bids for outpatient building furniture (posted May 2026 with June response dates)—involve OR equipment procurement and facility furnishings that diverge substantially from suction appliance accessories. A single law-enforcement equipment RFP issued by Sourcewell in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline lies entirely outside healthcare procurement. Geographic concentration is limited to California counties (San Mateo County) and state-level procurements through the State of California, with no interstate activity evident in the recent-opportunities block. The code shows little relevant recent activity; prospective vendors should monitor San Mateo County Medical Center for repeat healthcare infrastructure buys and verify tagging accuracy against actual scope before pursuing opportunities nominally assigned to this code.
