UNSPSC 42296211: Surgical robotic ultrasonic energy instruments

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

UNSPSC 42296211 Surgical robotic ultrasonic energy instruments, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's abstract description suggests procurement of specialized surgical instruments, but the two recent opportunities tagged under it involve law enforcement equipment and automated pharmacy dispensing systems—neither of which involves surgical robotics or ultrasonic energy technology. State and local governments do solicit medical equipment and systems through cooperative and direct RFP vehicles, but this code's recent posting history does not reflect coherent demand for the product category it nominally covers.

The two most recent opportunities are a Sourcewell cooperative RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, and a Harris Health System RFP (#260061, due March 30, 2026) for an automated pharmacy dispensing system serving Harris County, Texas hospitals and clinics. Neither solicitation involves surgical robotics. The code shows no recent activity in other states or from school districts, transit authorities, or specialty medical procurement offices. If your firm pursues surgical robotic or ultrasonic surgical instruments for state and local healthcare systems, verify the correct UNSPSC classification with individual buying organizations before bid preparation, as this code's tagging appears inconsistent with actual procurement need.
