UNSPSC 42296818 Surgical retriever sets is a Commodity code that encompasses surgical power instruments and related operating room equipment for healthcare facility procurement. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, show substantial mismatch with the nominal scope — the actual solicitations involve laser equipment and technical staffing for operating rooms, outpatient building furniture across multiple furniture categories, and law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. The code does not reflect focused procurement activity in surgical retriever sets specifically. State and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county healthcare systems (San Mateo County operating San Mateo Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital), the State of California for outpatient facility capital projects, and Sourcewell on behalf of multiple counties and public entities.

Recent opportunities span California (San Mateo County and State of California outpatient building projects) and a multistate cooperative purchasing initiative led by Sourcewell in Minnesota covering Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties. Representative recent solicitations include San Mateo County's RFP for Surgical Power (due May 28, 2026, seeking five-year contract for surgical power equipment replacement with minimum qualifications including five years' experience in manufacturing, sales, or leasing and compliance with Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour); the State of California's competitive bid for outpatient building furniture (RFB-IS-26200984, due June 4, 2026, with CBE participation requirements); and Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, with participating entities spanning multiple states). The code shows limited genuine activity in surgical retriever sets and warrants verification of actual commodity alignment before pursuit.
