UNSPSC 42296804: Neurosurgical or spinal instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of instruments during a neurosurgical or spinal surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296804 Neurosurgical or spinal instruments (Commodity) covers surgical equipment and related technical support for operating room use, though the recent state and local solicitations posted under this code span a broad range of healthcare facility equipment and services with limited direct alignment to the neurosurgical or spinal instrument scope. San Mateo County Medical Center is the dominant repeat issuer in the recent opportunities block, soliciting laser equipment with associated technical support for OR operations (RFP, due July 10, 2026) and surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment (RFP with five-year contract term, originally due May 28, 2026). These procurements require vendors to demonstrate expertise in equipment installation, maintenance, and qualified technical staffing; compliance with HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility, and corporate compliance standards; and background clearance and fingerprinting certification for all assigned personnel. San Mateo County applies a local business preference that awards five percent additional evaluation points to local businesses and nonprofits, with an additional three to eight percent for small or micro businesses.

Recent activity centers in California, with San Mateo County Medical Center issuing two material RFPs for surgical equipment and the State of California posting two separate IFBs for outpatient building furniture (due June 9 and June 4, 2026, respectively), both with Certified Business Enterprise set-aside or participation requirements. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) is unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The Nevada State Police phlebotomy services solicitation (originally due April 16, 2026, with Carson Valley Health identified as the intended awardee) also falls outside the neurosurgical instrument category. The code shows limited recent activity that directly aligns with neurosurgical or spinal instruments; most posted opportunities reflect broader surgical equipment, facility furnishings, or unrelated services incidentally tagged to this code.
