UNSPSC 42293601: Surgical bougies

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a bougie during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical bougies under 21 CFR 876.5365 and under FDA product code KNQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293601 Surgical bougies (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under or near 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 concern surgical bougies or related dilating instruments. The mismatch between the code classification and the actual goods being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or that surgical bougies are not currently a priority commodity in state and local health procurement.

The represented opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: San Mateo County Medical Center (California) seeking laser equipment and surgical power replacements via RFP with proposal deadlines in May and June 2026; the State of California issuing IFBs for outpatient building furniture in May 2026; Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle) managing a law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of multiple Washington State counties and other participating entities with a June 16, 2026 deadline; and the Nevada State Police requesting phlebotomy services via solicitation with an April 2026 response date. None of these procurements directly address the Commodity code's product line, indicating that surgical bougies remain outside the current active procurement landscape visible in the recent state and local opportunity record.
