UNSPSC 42294001: Surgical scoops

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

UNSPSC 42294001 Surgical scoops, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broader surgical equipment and facility procurement rather than surgical scoops specifically. San Mateo County Medical Center has solicited laser equipment and technical support for operating room use and surgical power instruments to replace obsolete power tools, both issued as RFPs with proposals due in May and June 2026. The State of California has posted bids for outpatient building furniture (two separate RFBs due in early June 2026), and Sourcewell cooperative has solicited law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions. The Nevada State Police solicited phlebotomy services for DUI blood collection in Douglas County. Of these five opportunities, only the San Mateo County surgical power and laser equipment procurements bear substantive relation to operating room surgical instrumentation; the furniture, law enforcement, and phlebotomy solicitations appear misclassified under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in California (San Mateo County and State of California) and Nevada, with a multi-state cooperative sourced through Minnesota's Sourcewell entity. San Mateo County emerges as a repeat buyer for surgical OR equipment. The two San Mateo County RFPs—Surgical Power (due May 28, 2026) and Laser equipment and Techs for the OR (due June 10, 2026)—require vendors to meet Living Wage Ordinance compliance, HIPAA Business Associate Agreement obligations, Section 504 accessibility compliance, and background clearance and fingerprinting certification. The Surgical Power RFP applies San Mateo County's local business procurement preference, awarding five percent additional evaluation points to local businesses and three to eight percent for small or micro businesses. No specific budget ranges are disclosed in available documentation. The code appears quieter than typical Commodity codes; bidders should verify that opportunities posted under UNSPSC 42294001 align with their service mix before committing resources to pursuit.
