UNSPSC 42294206: Ophthalmic surgery instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of Ophthalmic surgery instrument during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic surgery instrument sets under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code KDD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294206 Ophthalmic surgery instrument sets is a Commodity code showing minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — surgical ophthalmic instrument sets — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code number. Of the four recent postings carrying this code tag, only one addresses medical devices or healthcare products: San Mateo Medical Center's October 1, 2026 RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services (due November 6, 2026), which concerns portable diagnostic equipment rather than surgical instrument sets. The other three opportunities — Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative's fiber splicing services (due November 13, 2026), a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative medical supplies RFP sponsored by Idaho (due November 9, 2026), and Sourcewell's physical health products vehicle (due October 20, 2026) — either fall entirely outside ophthalmology or are too broadly scoped to confirm they encompass ophthalmic surgery instruments. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being tagged suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this code rarely sees activity that matches its intended definition.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities that do post under this code spans California, Florida, Idaho, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing platforms and individual healthcare systems. Issuing bodies include a rural electric cooperative, county-level health systems, state cooperative-purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose districts. No repeat buyers appear in the recent record, and no opportunities explicitly solicit ophthalmic surgery instrument sets, making this code an inactive prospect for vendors focused on that product line. The San Mateo retinal screening device procurement is the closest match to healthcare instrumentation but targets diagnostic rather than surgical equipment. Firms evaluating this code should verify their product alignment directly with issuing procurement offices rather than relying on the code tag alone.
