UNSPSC 42294513: Ophthalmic vitrectomy kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform an ophthalmic vitrectomy procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic vitrectomy kits under 21 CFR 886.1385 and under FDA product code HJK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901850.

UNSPSC 42294513 Ophthalmic vitrectomy kits, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve fiber splicing services for an electric cooperative, handheld retinal screening devices for a county medical center, and cooperative purchasing vehicles for medical and law enforcement supplies — none of which are ophthalmic surgical kits or related to vitrectomy procedures. The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being procured suggests either tagging inconsistency by the issuing bodies or that this code does not reflect active state and local demand for ophthalmic surgical instrumentation at present.

The most directly relevant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP 660002627264 for handheld retinal screening devices and services, due November 6, 2026, which addresses diagnostic ophthalmic equipment rather than surgical kits. That procurement seeks portable, battery-powered devices with EPIC integration, on-site training, 24/7 support, and maintenance for use across outpatient clinics, acute care, and long-term care facilities in San Mateo and Burlingame, California. San Mateo County applies local business preferences of 5 to 10 percentage points and enforces living wage requirements. The broader opportunities listed — Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFPs for physical health products and law enforcement equipment, and the NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies consortium vehicle through Texas — do not identify ophthalmic vitrectomy kits or surgical instruments as line items. Buyers pursuing this code should monitor whether state and local health systems, surgical centers, or cooperative purchasing consortia issue RFPs or RFQs that explicitly name ophthalmic surgical instrumentation; current activity does not support active procurement under the code's stated scope.
