UNSPSC 42295475 Surgical drain or set accessories is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical devices and related supplies used in surgical drainage procedures, including drain systems, collection apparatus, and associated instrumentation. State and local government buyers—primarily health systems, medical centers, and hospital networks—procure these items through both direct institutional purchase and cooperative purchasing agreements to support acute-care surgical operations. The issuing bodies under this code include county-operated medical centers, state health departments acting through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and independent hospital systems serving regional populations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing organization, has emerged as a primary aggregation vehicle for multi-jurisdictional procurement of medical products including surgical supplies, allowing state governments, counties, cities, school districts, and other political subdivisions to participate in master agreements that achieve volume-based pricing and standardized contracting terms.

Recent activity under this code centers on California and the upper Midwest. San Mateo Medical Center, operating as a county-owned acute-care hospital system, solicited orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services in July 2026 (IFB 666002526252, due July 1, 2026), requiring vendors to demonstrate ISO 13485:2016 certification and five years of acute-care hospital support experience with compatibility across multiple implant manufacturers. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, in cooperation with Sourcewell, posted RFP 102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services in October 2026 (due October 20, 2026), establishing master agreements open to state governments, institutions of higher education, counties, cities, school districts, and the District of Columbia across multiple states and territories, with a four-year initial term and up to three one-year extensions available. Vendors in both solicitations must register in state procurement systems, comply with applicable prevailing-wage and living-wage ordinances, and meet HIPAA and other health care regulatory standards. The Washington State Department of Transportation's medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represents occupational health rather than surgical supply procurement and is not directly aligned with this code's scope.
