UNSPSC 42296217: Surgical robotic consoles

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

UNSPSC 42296217 Surgical robotic consoles is a Commodity code that covers automated medication-distribution and law-enforcement-technology equipment procured by state and local health systems, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and multi-jurisdictional public entities. The recent opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope—the two most recent solicitations target an automated pharmacy dispensing system for a Texas health system and law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing framework, neither of which addresses surgical robotic technology. State and local procurement offices tagging opportunities to this code appear to be using it as a catch-all for specialized equipment procurement rather than its intended commodity scope. The issuing bodies include Harris Health System, a Harris County, Texas public healthcare provider, and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative administering multi-state purchasing on behalf of participating counties, municipalities, and public entities across Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions nationwide.

Harris Health System posted RFP #260061 on March 6, 2026 for an automated pharmacy dispensing system supporting centralized distribution across inpatient and outpatient facilities, with proposals due April 13, 2026 and Board approval anticipated June 10, 2026; the procurement emphasizes Epic Willow Inventory integration, prior implementation experience, and M/WBE utilization requirements. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, structured as a cooperative purchasing contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations across multiple states and Canada. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with surgical robotic consoles specifically; business development professionals should verify whether the code assignment reflects current state and local procurement categorization or represents data-entry error in the underlying opportunity database.
