UNSPSC 42296805 Ophthalmic surgery instruments (Commodity) covers surgical laser equipment, power instruments, and related ophthalmic operating-room supplies that state and local health systems procure to support surgical procedures. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show health systems buying laser equipment with technical staffing for OR use, surgical power instruments to replace aging equipment, and related surgical instrumentation for acute-care and outpatient facilities. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital and clinic system, has posted multiple RFPs for these categories—including laser equipment and technical support services for OR operations and surgical power instruments on five-year contracts—indicating active replacement and expansion cycles at mid-sized public health systems. The code also captures furniture and architectural fixtures for outpatient surgical environments, as evidenced by California state capital-improvement procurements for outpatient building fit-outs that include surgical and clinical spaces. Issuing bodies include county public health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), state health facility capital-improvement programs (State of California), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating county entities across multiple states).

Activity concentrates in California, with San Mateo County Medical Center driving two recent high-profile RFPs: one for laser equipment and OR technical staffing posted July 10, 2026 with a June 10 proposal deadline (RFP format), and another for surgical power instruments posted June 29, 2026 with a May 28 proposal deadline and a five-year term. The State of California released back-to-back furniture RFBs in May 2026 for outpatient building projects (RFBIS26200984 due June 4, and RFBIS26200986 due June 9), both carrying Certified Business Enterprise set-aside requirements. San Mateo County's solicitations require HIPAA compliance, Living Wage Ordinance adherence (currently $17.00 per hour), professional liability and cyber liability insurance, and background clearance for all personnel. Geographic spread extends beyond California to Washington state and Nevada through cooperative purchasing frameworks and state agency procurements, though California remains the primary market for specialty surgical instrumentation and ophthalmic equipment under this code.
