UNSPSC 42296811: Tracheotomy surgical instruments

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

UNSPSC 42296811 Tracheotomy surgical instruments is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses surgical power equipment, laser systems for operating room use, and associated technical support services rather than tracheotomy-specific instruments. San Mateo County, through its public hospital system San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), has posted multiple RFPs for surgical equipment and technical staffing to replace or upgrade existing instruments and systems. The procurements require vendors to demonstrate expertise in equipment installation, maintenance, and technical support capable of supporting acute-care surgical operations. Contractors must comply with HIPAA requirements, corporate compliance standards, Section 504 accessibility compliance, Living Wage Ordinance standards (currently $17.00 per hour minimum), and California prevailing wage requirements where applicable. All personnel require background clearance and fingerprinting certification, and vendors must maintain specified insurance coverage including general liability, professional liability, and cyber liability. San Mateo County applies 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.

Recent activity is concentrated in California, driven by San Mateo County's acute-care facility modernization. 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, and a separate RFP for Laser equipment and OR technical support (Solicitation 666002526250) with a June 10, 2026 submission date. Neither opportunity disclosed specific budget ranges or award values in the available materials. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing initiative (RFP #061626) posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline seeks law enforcement equipment through a multi-state cooperative framework spanning Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions, but this opportunity appears unrelated to the code's stated scope and represents activity mistagged under the tracheotomy instruments classification.
