UNSPSC 42295124: Surgical smoke evacuators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a smoke evacuator during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates surgical smoke evacuators under 21 CFR 878.5070 and under FDA product code FYD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295124 Surgical smoke evacuators is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunity tagged under it does not reflect procurement of surgical smoke evacuation equipment. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) posted RFP 26349-RFP-MST on September 7, 2026, soliciting proposals for fire protection system services — specifically inspection, maintenance, and repair of pre-engineered and engineered CO2 automatic fire extinguisher systems and sprinkler systems across all district facilities. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of surgical smoke evacuators.

The HCPS opportunity is structured around a separation-of-duties model in which one vendor performs inspections and a separate vendor handles repairs across 235 schools, with proposals due October 5, 2026. The district evaluates qualifications and experience (30 percent weight), specifications and scope of work (25 percent), cost or best value (35 percent), and small business enterprise utilization (10 percent). HCPS encourages use of Office of Supplier Development-certified small business enterprises and awards evaluation points based on SBE subcontractor participation as a percentage of total contract dollars. Contractors must demonstrate capacity to service all district facilities while maintaining minimal operational disruption, provide three professional references from the prior three years, maintain current VendorLink registration, and comply with Jessica Lunsford Act background screening and hazardous materials handling procedures established by the HCPS Safety Office. Standard-hours pricing is estimated at 478 hours annually (6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday–Friday), with overtime and additional items priced on a cost-plus-markup basis not exceeding 15 percent. Written questions were due September 21, 2026.
