UNSPSC 42293803: Surgical strippers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a stripper during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293803 Surgical strippers, a Commodity code, covers surgical instruments and equipment used in operating room and clinical settings, though recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal category. The few recent solicitations tagged to this code span diverse healthcare procurement: San Mateo County Medical Center issued RFPs for laser equipment and technical support for OR use, and for replacement of obsolete surgical power instruments; the State of California posted IFBs for outpatient building furniture; the Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services for DUI blood draws; and Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions, sought law enforcement equipment through an RFP. The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitation scope suggests either inconsistent tagging by issuing offices or that the code is seeing minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local space. Issuing bodies in the recent block include county health systems, state healthcare authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning multiple jurisdictions, but no clear pattern of repeat buyers emerges under this specific code.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Nevada with some multistate reach through the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle based in Minnesota. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited Joint Commission-accredited public hospital system, posted two RFPs in June and July 2026 seeking laser equipment and surgical power instruments with five-year contract terms and compliance requirements including HIPAA, Living Wage Ordinance adherence, background clearance, and local business preference (five percent additional points for local firms, up to eight percent for micro businesses). The State of California issued IFBs for outpatient building furniture with CBE set-aside provisions and specified delivery and installation requirements, with response windows of two to three weeks. The limited recent volume and categorical misalignment suggest this code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit unless your firm specializes in surgical instruments and has relationships with county or state healthcare procurement offices with near-term OR or surgical-equipment needs.
