UNSPSC 42294215: Craniotomy surgical instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of craniotomy surgical instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Craniotomy surgical instrument sets under 21 CFR 882.43 and under FDA product code HBB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 630790.

UNSPSC 42294215 Craniotomy surgical instrument sets is a Commodity code that maps poorly to state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source are dominated by purchases of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), AED batteries and accessories, cardiac monitors, and defibrillator-related supplies—devices and consumables for emergency medical response, not craniotomy surgical instrument sets. The code name does not align with what state and local buyers are actually transacting under this designation. State and local governments soliciting under this code are school districts, county governments, fire departments, and state health agencies acquiring point-of-care cardiac and emergency medical equipment for public facilities, emergency response infrastructure, and institutional care settings.

Activity is distributed across multiple states and issuing body types. School districts including Utica Community Schools (Michigan) and Cobb County School District (Georgia) are repeat buyers of AED equipment and batteries; county governments in Georgia, Texas, and Florida are soliciting defibrillators and related cardiac accessories; state-level procurements include the State of Georgia RFQ for AEDs (due September 2, 2026) and the State of Colorado sole-source procurement of LIFEPAK monitor-defibrillators from Stryker. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for miscellaneous medical supplies including defibrillator pads for the Denton State Supported Living Center (due August 19, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles are active—NASPO ValuePoint master-agreement RFP 1443 for medical supplies sponsored by Idaho state agencies closed November 9, 2026. The recent opportunity set reflects activity in Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Florida, and Idaho, with no craniotomy surgical instrument procurement visible in the posted notices. The code's actual use by state and local buyers appears to capture emergency medical devices rather than operating-room surgical instrument sets.
