UNSPSC 42295205: Surgical shaver equipment or handpieces

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a shaver equipment or handpieces during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42295205 Surgical shaver equipment or handpieces is a Commodity code that encompasses orthopedic extraction and removal systems, spinal implant supplies, and related surgical instrumentation used in acute-care hospital and health system procedures. State and local health systems—county-operated hospitals, university medical centers, and integrated health networks—solicit under this code for on-demand or bill-only supply contracts that support orthopedic, spinal, and trauma surgery programs. The work involves vendor-supplied instrumentation compatible with multiple implant manufacturers, technical support for surgical procedures, sterilization and case management, and emergency or scheduled delivery logistics. Buyers typically require five or more years of vendor experience, ISO or FDA certification, and compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, and state healthcare contracting standards including living-wage, corporate compliance, and HUB subcontracting plan requirements.

Recent activity centers on California and Texas health systems. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County) issued an RFP in July 2026 for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on a three-year as-needed basis, with a local-business preference of 5 to 10 percent under county ordinance and response due July 1, 2026. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted RFP 745-26-P04 in January 2026 for multi-awarded spinal implant contracts supporting a newly opened 144-bed hospital with 12 operating rooms, requiring HUB subcontracting plans and response by March 10, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626) posted in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment shows no direct relevance to the code's stated scope and appears to be mistagged; the cooperative-purchasing vehicle itself is worth monitoring for future health-related solicitations across Minnesota and participating jurisdictions, but this particular opportunity does not represent orthopedic or surgical supply demand under the code.
