UNSPSC 42293504: Ophthalmic irrigation or aspiration supplies

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with ophthalmic irrigation or aspiration supplies. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic irrigation or aspiration supplies or accessories under 21 CFR 886.4150 and under FDA product code HQE. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42293504 Ophthalmic irrigation or aspiration supplies, a Commodity code, encompasses consumable products and associated services that state and local health systems, specialty clinics, and emergency departments procure to support ophthalmologic procedures and patient care. State and local governments are actively soliciting for complete ophthalmic supply portfolios—irrigation solutions, aspiration equipment, and related accessories—typically bundled with broader ophthalmic instrument and service contracts that include authorized distribution, maintenance, and evaluation support. The County of Santa Clara issued an all-or-none ITB on June 21, 2026, for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories to stock the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments, with bids due July 10, 2026; bidders must qualify as authorized distributors or manufacturers and service providers for all listed products, and the resulting three-year contract will be managed through contract release purchase orders with firm pricing throughout the term. Issuing bodies include county health systems and specialty centers; the code does not show widespread school district, transit authority, or municipal fire/EMS procurement in recent activity, though first-responder agencies may acquire irrigation supplies for emergency ophthalmologic care.

Geographic activity centers in California and the West—the Santa Clara County procurement represents the most concrete recent match to the code's nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged to the code also include unrelated medical equipment solicitations (Collier County's single-source GlideScope video laryngoscope in April 2026, and the City of Tampa's fire department medical and first aid supplies in March 2026), suggesting some state and local procurement systems tag ophthalmic-adjacent medical devices to this commodity code despite scope mismatch. The Santa Clara ITB remains the only recent opportunity that directly aligns with irrigation, aspiration, and specialized ophthalmic supply procurement; activity appears concentrated in larger county health systems with dedicated specialty ophthalmology services rather than distributed across municipalities or smaller jurisdictions.
