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 covering equipment, devices, and related services that hospitals and county health systems procure for operating room and surgical facility operations. The code encompasses laser surgical equipment, powered surgical instruments, and associated technical support and staffing. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county-operated public hospitals and health systems; one California state procurement for healthcare facility fixtures also appears in the recent activity, though that opportunity (furniture for an outpatient building) represents a tangential application. San Mateo County, through its fully accredited public hospital San Mateo Medical Center, appears as the primary repeat buyer in the recent record, with two separate RFPs posted in May and June 2026 for surgical equipment modernization.

The geographic concentration is limited to California, with all substantive surgical-equipment opportunities originating from San Mateo County. Representative recent procurements include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 666002526249 for Surgical Power equipment (five-year contract term, proposal deadline May 28, 2026, via the OpenGov eProcurement portal), which requires proposers to demonstrate five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing of powered surgical instruments, maintain general liability and professional liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence, and comply with the County's Living Wage Ordinance and California prevailing wage requirements where applicable; the RFP evaluation weights project approach at 30 points, firm and team qualifications at 45 points combined, and price at 25 points, with a local business preference ordinance awarding up to five percent additional points for San Mateo County and San Francisco City vendors and up to eight percent for micro businesses. A second San Mateo Medical Center RFP (666002526250) solicits laser equipment and OR technical staffing, posted July 10, 2026, with proposal submission required by June 10, 2026; this procurement emphasizes HIPAA compliance, background clearance for all assigned personnel, and expertise in laser equipment installation and maintenance supporting acute-care surgical operations.
