UNSPSC 42296204: Surgical robotic graspers or forceps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a grasper or pair of forceps during a robotic surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296204 Surgical robotic graspers or forceps, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a due date of June 16, 2026—concerns law enforcement tactical gear and does not solicit surgical robotic instruments. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local database or a rare cross-sector application unrelated to the code's core medical device scope. State and local procurement of actual surgical robotic graspers or forceps occurs through health systems, hospital networks, and medical facility procurement offices rather than through the law enforcement or general equipment cooperative purchasing vehicles reflected in the available records.

The geographic footprint of recent opportunities under this code reflects Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework centered on Washington state and Minnesota, with participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties and thousands of potential public sector end-users across the United States and Canada. However, the substantive nature of that single opportunity—law enforcement equipment procurement—does not represent the actual market for surgical robotic instruments in state and local healthcare settings. Absent additional recent solicitations for surgical robotic graspers or forceps from state health departments, hospital authorities, or integrated delivery systems, this code currently shows negligible relevant activity in the state and local procurement pipeline.
