UNSPSC 42294505: Lid plates for ophthalmic surgery

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a lid plate for ophthalmic surgery during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901850.

UNSPSC 42294505 Lid plates for ophthalmic surgery is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The most recent posting — Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative's RFP for fiber splicing maintenance and add-on services — involves telecommunications infrastructure work entirely outside ophthalmology. The other recent opportunities include a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative medical supplies procurement sponsored by Idaho, San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services, Sourcewell's physical health products and related services vehicle, and a Sourcewell cooperative for law enforcement equipment. While the San Mateo retinal screening solicitation touches on eye-care instrumentation, it addresses diagnostic devices rather than ophthalmic surgical supplies, and the remaining three opportunities bear no connection to the code's stated commodity.

The code shows little relevant recent activity for ophthalmic surgical lid plates. The tagging inconsistency across fiber, general medical supplies, law enforcement, and non-ophthalmic health products suggests either miscoding in the source data or minimal procurement volume under this specific commodity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify current supplier relationships and state health-system procurement calendars directly, as the recent-opportunity record does not support a pipeline of active solicitations in this category.
