UNSPSC 42294203: General surgical instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of general surgical instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates General surgical instrument sets under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code KDD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294203 General surgical instrument sets is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag procurement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment—although recent solicitations show the code is being applied primarily to AED and defibrillator service contracts and equipment rather than to traditional surgical instrument sets. The scope of work spans AED units and batteries, defibrillator service and warranty plans, cardiac monitoring equipment, blood pressure cuffs and accessories compatible with specific defibrillator models, and AED consumables such as pads and protective cases. Issuing bodies include school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia), county emergency management and fire rescue operations (Marion County Fire Rescue in Florida, Collier County Emergency Management in Florida, Harris County in Texas), city fire departments (Orlando Fire Department, City of Tampa), and cooperative purchasing entities (Sourcewell) facilitating procurement across multiple state and local jurisdictions nationwide. A secondary thread of purchasing activity covers major incident standby services and broad disaster response equipment, though those opportunities appear tangentially related to the code.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Collier County, Marion County, Orlando Fire Department), Texas (Harris County, Dallas), Georgia (Cobb County School District), and Oregon (City of Eugene), with Sourcewell's cooperative agreements extending the geographic reach to Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other U.S. jurisdictions. Recent representative opportunities include Harris County's RFP for Automatic External Defibrillators and Related Items due May 18, 2026; Cobb County School District's quote request for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories due July 6, 2026, with expenditures estimated at approximately $50,000; Marion County Fire Rescue's re-solicitation for blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator due May 6, 2026; the City of Orlando Fire Department's sole source procurement for X-Series Defibrillator/Monitor Worry-Free Service Plan (contract value $318,123.66) and Zoll Medical Corporation warranty and maintenance services; and the City of Tampa's competitive bid for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs and accessories (estimated at $60,000.00) designated as a sheltered market for Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment cooperative RFP (#061626) due June 16, 2026, and the City of Eugene's notice of intent to purchase cardiac monitors from Stryker through Sourcewell demonstrate ongoing use of cooperative purchasing vehicles to consolidate buys across multiple entities.
