UNSPSC 42295142: Intraoperative blood salvage machines

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a intraoperative blood salvage machine in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Intraoperative blood salvage machines under 21 CFR 868.5830 and under FDA product code CAC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295142 Intraoperative blood salvage machines (Commodity) describes equipment and technical services for operating room use, though recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover laser equipment and technical support for OR operations, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, and law enforcement equipment — none of which are intraoperative blood salvage devices. The issuing bodies span county health systems, state procurement offices, and cooperative purchasing authorities. San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital system, appears twice in the recent block with RFPs for surgical equipment and OR-support services. The State of California issued multiple RFBs for outpatient facility furniture. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit cooperative, solicited law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington, Oregon, and other jurisdictions.

Geographic activity centers on California, where San Mateo County and the State of California have posted multiple opportunities for medical facility equipment and furnishings, and Washington, where Sourcewell's cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment drew multi-state participation. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Surgical Power equipment (Solicitation 666002526249, due May 28, 2026), seeking five-year contracts with minimum qualifications including five years' experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing; the State of California's RFB for outpatient building furniture (RFBIS26200984, due June 4, 2026), with CBE set-aside participation requirements; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026), accepting proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows little relevant recent activity — the tagged opportunities are unrelated to blood salvage equipment, suggesting either a tagging mismatch or dormant procurement activity in the intraoperative blood salvage category itself.
