UNSPSC 42296213: Surgical robotic simulators or training consoles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a simulator or training console for a robotic surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296213 Surgical robotic simulators or training consoles (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The solicitation scope encompasses law enforcement gear broadly but does not reference surgical robotic simulators, training consoles, or medical training equipment. The code mismatch suggests either a classification error in the opportunity record or that surgical robotic simulators and training consoles see little current demand through state and local procurement channels tracked under this commodity code.

The single recent opportunity in the block is a cooperative-purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with jurisdictions nationwide. No geographic concentration of relevant medical-training opportunities, no repeat buyers focused on surgical simulators, and no recent solicitation explicitly requesting this category of equipment are evident in the source. Vendors interested in this commodity should verify whether state and local procurement offices are categorizing surgical robotic simulators under an alternate UNSPSC code or whether demand exists through direct institutional procurement rather than cooperative purchasing agreements.
