UNSPSC 42296201: Surgical robotic clip application instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a clip application instrument during a robotic surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296201 Surgical robotic clip application instruments is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect surgical robotics procurement. Instead, the code shows activity related to law enforcement equipment and healthcare systems through cooperative and direct-procurement channels. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are typically purchasing departments at multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles, county and city law enforcement agencies, and public healthcare systems. Sourcewell, the Minnesota-based state and local government unit and service cooperative, dominates recent visibility, structuring framework agreements that reach thousands of governmental entities, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations across the United States and Canada. Public healthcare providers such as Harris Health System in Texas also solicit independently for specialized equipment and systems. The scope of recent opportunities diverges significantly from the code's surgical-robotics name—current procurements span law enforcement equipment (unspecified in detail but framed broadly) and automated pharmacy dispensing systems for centralized hospital and clinic distribution networks.

Activity is concentrated in Washington state jurisdictions (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and Texas (Harris County through Harris Health System). Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, represents a major cooperative vehicle with submissions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no specific award value is disclosed. Harris Health System RFP 260061, posted March 6, 2026 with an April 13, 2026 deadline, procures an automated pharmacy dispensing system for centralized distribution across inpatient and outpatient facilities, requiring implementation of at least two comparable centers within five years and Epic Willow Inventory compatibility, with Board award anticipated June 10, 2026. The mismatch between the code's surgical-robotics definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local source systems or limited relevance of this code to current state and local government buying patterns.
