UNSPSC 42293523: Medical or surgical suction sets or kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform a medical or surgical suction procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293523 Medical or surgical suction sets or kits is a Commodity code that encompasses surgical power instruments, laser equipment for operating room use, and related surgical support equipment procured by state and local healthcare systems. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement by public hospital systems and state health facility capital projects for replacement and upgrade of surgical equipment. San Mateo Medical Center, a fully accredited county-operated public hospital system, has issued two separate RFPs for surgical equipment — one for surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment (five-year contract term) and another for laser equipment with associated technical support services for OR operations. Both solicitations from San Mateo County require proposers to meet comprehensive compliance standards including Living Wage Ordinance minimums ($17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustments capped at 3.5 percent), HIPAA Business Associate Agreement obligations, California Labor Code prevailing wage requirements when applicable, Section 504 accessibility compliance, and vendor background clearance and fingerprinting certification. The State of California has also issued multiple RFBs for outpatient building furniture projects with CBE set-aside or participation requirements, though these procurements diverge from the code's nominal focus on surgical suction and power equipment and appear misaligned with the Commodity's scope.

The geographic activity concentrates in California, driven by San Mateo County health system procurement and state capital facilities projects. San Mateo Medical Center issued its RFP for surgical power equipment with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, and a separate RFP for laser equipment and technical support with a June 10, 2026 deadline; both apply San Mateo County's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance, awarding five percent additional evaluation points to local businesses and nonprofits, with an additional three percent for small businesses or eight percent for micro businesses. One unrelated cooperative procurement (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) was tagged under this code but involves no surgical or medical equipment and represents a cataloging mismatch rather than relevant market activity.
