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, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity under its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve laser surgical equipment and technical support, furniture for outpatient facilities, surgical power instruments, and law enforcement equipment—none of which are suction containers or related medical waste-collection devices. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being solicited suggests that either the tagging is incorrect or suction containers represent a negligible procurement line item within broader surgical equipment or facility construction contracts. No recent solicitations specifically solicit suction containers as a standalone product or service.

Given the absence of direct opportunities under this code's actual scope, business development professionals should treat this category as inactive in the current state and local procurement cycle. Monitor for future activity by tracking surgical equipment upgrades and facility modernization projects at county health systems and state healthcare agencies, particularly San Mateo County Medical Center and other California health authorities that appear active in related procurement, but do not expect near-term standalone suction-container contracting under this code.
