UNSPSC 42296800: Surgical instruments and accessories

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in surgical based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42296800 Surgical instruments and accessories is a Class code that encompasses surgical equipment, power instruments, laser systems, and associated technical support services for operating room deployment. State and local health systems procure under this code to equip and maintain surgical facilities with specialized instrumentation, ranging from legacy power tool replacements to advanced laser platforms with on-site technician support. Issuing bodies are primarily county-operated public hospitals and health systems, along with state facilities departments managing capital improvements to outpatient and acute-care infrastructure. San Mateo Medical Center, operated by San Mateo County, appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate RFPs for surgical power equipment and laser systems with associated technical staffing.

Recent activity concentrates in California, where San Mateo County issued an RFP for surgical power equipment (Solicitation 666002526249, due May 28, 2026) seeking five-year contracts for power instrument replacement with a five-point local-business preference and three-to-eight-percent small-business adders, and a separate RFP for laser equipment and operating-room technician support (Solicitation 666002526250, due June 10, 2026) requiring HIPAA compliance, background clearance, and Living Wage Ordinance adherence. Both contracts named no specific budget ceiling in the solicitation summaries. Proposals required detailed qualifications, project approach, and separate fee schedules; minimum qualifications included five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing and maintenance of specified products. A parallel procurement activity in California involved state-level furniture RFBs for outpatient building projects (Solicitations RFBIS26200984, RFBIS26200986, and RFBIS27200071), which fall outside the surgical instruments scope and likely represent a code-tagging error in the source data.
