UNSPSC 42293800: Surgical passers and searchers and tunnelers and strippers and related products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized as passers and searchers and tunnelers and strippers in surgical procedures.

UNSPSC 42293800 Surgical passers and searchers and tunnelers and strippers and related products is a Class code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, appears to span surgical power instruments and related operating room equipment rather than the narrow instrument categories implied by its nominal name. State and local health systems are soliciting replacement and upgrade contracts for surgical power tools, laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, and associated facility furnishings in healthcare settings. The issuing bodies include county-operated public hospital systems and state healthcare facility capital programs, with San Mateo County Medical Center appearing as a repeat buyer for surgical equipment replacement and upgrades within the past four months.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in California, where San Mateo County Medical Center posted RFPs for Surgical Power equipment (due May 28, 2026, five-year contract term) and Laser equipment and OR technical support (due June 10, 2026), both issued as Requests for Proposals with compliance requirements including Living Wage Ordinance adherence, HIPAA Business Associate obligations, and local business preference points under San Mateo County's Procurement Preference for Local Businesses Ordinance. The State of California issued multiple furniture RFBs for outpatient building projects in May and July 2026 (due dates ranging June 4 through August 18, 2026), all carrying Certified Business Enterprise participation or set-aside requirements. A separate Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (#061626, due June 16, 2026) appears misaligned with this code's surgical and healthcare scope and does not reflect genuine activity under the Class code proper.
