UNSPSC 42294213: Laparotomy surgical instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of laparotomy surgical instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Laparotomy 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 42294213 Laparotomy surgical instrument sets is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to its nominal scope. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), defibrillator accessories, cardiac monitors, AED batteries, and related emergency medical equipment—none of which align with laparotomy surgical instrument sets. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan; Cobb County School District in Georgia), county governments (Bryan County Board of Commissioners in Georgia; Sarasota County in Florida; Marion County in Florida; Harris County in Texas), state agencies (State of Colorado; State of Georgia; Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell). The recent opportunities reflect a mix of direct procurements and master-agreement framework solicitations designed to serve multiple participating entities. School districts and county emergency services appear as repeat buyers of AED equipment and replacement batteries, with estimated individual expenditures ranging from approximately $50,000 (Cobb County School District Q27027 and Q27009) to larger multi-entity cooperative frameworks.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas (Harris County RFP 260079, Bryan County IFB for cardiac monitors, Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017685), Georgia (State of Georgia RFQ#26-210 for AEDs, Cobb County School District quotes Q27009 and Q27027), Florida (Marion County re-solicitation for blood pressure cuffs compatible with LIFEPAK equipment, Sarasota County RFQ for AED batteries, City of Dallas IFS for defibrillators), Michigan (Utica Community Schools RFP B-2452-26), Colorado (sole source notice for LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators from Stryker), and regional/multi-state cooperative frameworks administered through NASPO ValuePoint (due November 9, 2026, sponsored by Idaho state agencies) and Sourcewell (RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Cobb County School District's dual quotes for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories (approximately $50,000, quotes due July 27, 2026 and July 6, 2026), Utica Community Schools' bid for AEDs (due October 28, 2026), State of Georgia's RFQ#26-210 for AEDs (due September 2, 2026), Bryan County Board of Commissioners' sealed bid for ten EMS cardiac monitors (due September 10, 2026), and Harris County's RFP for AEDs and related items (due May 18, 2026). The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with laparotomy surgical instrument sets; the mismatch suggests either miscoding by the posting jurisdictions or a data alignment issue in the taxonomy application.
