UNSPSC 42293901: Surgical laparotomy rings

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a laparotomy ring during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42293901 Surgical laparotomy rings, a Commodity code, shows limited relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally encompasses surgical rings used in laparotomy procedures, but the most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code diverge substantially from that scope—they cover laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services. None of these solicitations involve laparotomy rings or related surgical instrumentation. The opportunities that do touch healthcare procurement are issued by San Mateo County through its public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center) and the State of California through outpatient facility capital projects, but neither is purchasing the specific device this code describes.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Nevada, with an outlier cooperative purchasing initiative from Sourcewell (Minnesota) for law enforcement equipment unrelated to the code's scope. San Mateo County appears twice with surgical equipment and power instrument replacements—a Request for Proposals for laser equipment and technical support (posted July 10, 2026, with a due date listed as July 10, 2026) and an RFP for surgical power equipment (released May 7, 2026, with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026). The State of California issued two competitive bids for outpatient furniture (due June 9, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively), both with CBE set-aside requirements. None of these procurements align with laparotomy ring supply or inventory. This code warrants close monitoring for actual laparotomy or general surgical instrument opportunities, as current state and local activity does not reflect demand for products within its nominal scope.
