UNSPSC 42293521: Medical or surgical suction containers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a medical or surgical suction container during a medical or surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293521 Medical or surgical suction containers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little activity directly aligned with suction-container procurement. The three recent solicitations that do appear — from San Mateo County Medical Center for laser equipment and surgical power instruments, and from the State of California for outpatient building furniture — address surgical equipment, power tools, and facility furnishings rather than suction containers themselves. One additional opportunity from Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties addresses law enforcement equipment, and another from Nevada State Police covers phlebotomy services; neither relates to the code's nominal scope. The misalignment between the code and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error in the source system or that suction-container procurement under this code does not generate recent state and local activity worth tracking.

The San Mateo County Medical Center solicitations represent the most relevant recent activity: an RFP for Surgical Power equipment with a five-year contract term, proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, and compliance requirements including general liability insurance ($1 million per occurrence), professional liability ($1 million per occurrence, $3 million aggregate), and cyber liability ($5 million per occurrence), along with a local-business preference awarding up to five percent additional evaluation points and three to eight percent additional points for small or micro businesses. San Mateo County applies a Living Wage Ordinance ($17.00 per hour minimum) and requires HIPAA compliance and background clearance. The California state furniture procurements (RFBs 26200984 and 26200986, both due in early June 2026) included Certified Business Enterprise set-asides. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges appear in the documentation.
