UNSPSC 42293529: Suction pump, manual

A suction pump works by atmospheric pressure; when the piston is raised, creating a partial vacuum, atmospheric pressure outside forces water into the cylinder, whence it is permitted to escape by an outlet valve.

UNSPSC 42293529 Suction pump, manual is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which are manual suction pumps or related medical equipment consumables. The mismatch between the code's stated product category and the actual solicitations posted under it suggests either inconsistent coding at the issuing bodies or a temporary data-alignment issue in the opportunities available for analysis. No concrete work scope tied to manual suction pumps can be reliably extracted from the source material.

The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and the State of California), Nevada (Nevada State Police), Minnesota (Sourcewell cooperative), and Washington state (participating counties). Without representative opportunities that actually match the code's intended commodity definition, no pattern of regular state and local procurement demand for manual suction pumps can be established from this dataset. Business development professionals should either verify the code assignment with their UNSPSC research tools or contact the issuing bodies directly to confirm whether manual suction pumps are regularly solicited under this code in their jurisdictions.
