Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901850.

UNSPSC 42294511 Ophthalmic surgical knives or blades is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect purchases of ophthalmic instruments. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the five most recent solicitations are instead for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), career and technical education supplies (Klein ISD), temporomandibular joint arthroscopy systems (State of California, three separate RFBs for 1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm arthroscopy accessories), and outpatient building furniture (State of California). None of these procurements involve ophthalmic surgical knives or blades. The mismatch suggests either a data-indexing issue in the opportunities block or that the code has been applied to unrelated medical device and equipment solicitations.

The State of California appears most frequently in the recent opportunities block, issuing multiple RFBs for arthroscopy systems posted April 16, 2026 with May 5, 2026 deadlines, and one outpatient furniture RFB posted March 18, 2026 due April 2, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 due June 16, 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state and multiple U.S. jurisdictions. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026 due June 5, 2026 for career and technical education resources. No procurement data supports current market activity for ophthalmic surgical knives or blades at the state or local level.
