UNSPSC 42296801: Cardiovascular or thoracic surgical instruments

UNSPSC 42296801 Cardiovascular or thoracic surgical instruments, a Commodity code, spans surgical power instruments, laser equipment for operating room use, and related surgical hardware procured by state and local health systems. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show San Mateo County Medical Center (a public hospital system) soliciting surgical power equipment and laser technology with associated technical support for acute-care operating rooms; however, three of the five recent opportunities in the dataset are plainly unrelated to cardiovascular or thoracic surgical instruments—two are furniture procurement by the State of California, one is law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, and one is phlebotomy services in Nevada. The code shows activity concentrated in public hospital systems and county health authorities rather than city or school district procurement, with San Mateo County appearing twice in the recent set.

Recent opportunities with direct relevance to the code's scope are concentrated in California, specifically San Mateo County. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for surgical power equipment (Solicitation 666002526249) with a five-year contract term and a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, requiring proposers to demonstrate five years of prior experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing surgical power instruments and to maintain general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, professional liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, and cyber liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence; the same issuer posted an RFP for laser equipment and operating room technical support (Solicitation 666002526250) with a June 10, 2026 due date, requiring HIPAA compliance, background clearance, and fingerprinting for all assigned personnel. Both San Mateo County procurements apply a local business preference ordinance awarding five percent additional evaluation points to local businesses and nonprofits, with an additional three or eight percent for small or micro businesses. Neither solicitation discloses a specific budget range or award value. The code does not show substantial recent activity across other states or issuing bodies at the Commodity level.
