UNSPSC 42294212: Urological surgical instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of urological surgical instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Urological 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 901849.

UNSPSC 42294212 Urological surgical instrument sets (Commodity) does not align with the actual work being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted against this code span automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator accessories including batteries and monitoring pads, and miscellaneous medical supplies — none of which constitute urological surgical instruments. The mismatch appears systematic across the opportunity set, suggesting either a data-tagging issue in the posting systems or vendor misclassification when uploading solicitations.

State and local governments soliciting under this code tag are school districts, county governments, municipal procurement offices, state health and human services agencies, and fire and EMS departments across multiple states including Michigan, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Cobb County School District appears as a repeat buyer, posting two AED procurement notices in the second quarter of 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Utica Community Schools (Michigan) requesting quotations for AEDs with a due date of October 28, 2026 via IFB; Bryan County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) seeking sealed bids for ten cardiac monitors due September 10, 2026; the State of Georgia issuing RFQ#26-210 for Automated External Defibrillators with quotes due September 2, 2026; and Harris County (Texas) posting an RFP for Automatic External Defibrillators and related items with proposals due May 18, 2026. Activity spreads across the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest. NASPO ValuePoint has also posted a cooperative purchasing master-agreement RFP for medical supplies with a November 9, 2026 deadline, available to state and local entities nationwide. Without alignment between the code's nominal scope (urological surgical instruments) and the actual purchases being made (defibrillators and cardiac monitoring equipment), pursue with caution and verify the correct code with issuing bodies before submitting.
