UNSPSC 42312016 Medical powered stapling system or accessories for internal use is a Commodity code that encompasses surgical power instruments and related operating room equipment used in acute-care hospital facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county health systems operating public hospitals and clinics, and state healthcare facility capital projects. The recent opportunities show a mix of hospital system operators and state construction or renovation projects acquiring surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment, laser equipment for OR use, and related surgical facility infrastructure. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital and clinic system, represents a primary repeat buyer, having posted separate RFPs for surgical power equipment and laser equipment with technical support for operating room operations within the same month.

San Mateo County, California dominates the recent activity under this code.

The same county issued a second RFP on May 13, 2026, for laser equipment and technical support services for OR use with a June 10, 2026 response date. Both solicitations require HIPAA compliance, background clearance and fingerprinting for all personnel, and compliance with San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustments capped at 3.5 percent. The county applies a procurement preference for local businesses (five percent additional points), with additional three to eight percent bonuses for small or micro businesses meeting local criteria.
