UNSPSC 42294533: Ophthalmic lachrymal probes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an ophthalmic lachrymal probe during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42294533 Ophthalmic lachrymal probes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—fiber splicing services for an electric cooperative, a NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies cooperative vehicle, handheld retinal screening devices for a county health system, physical health products through a service cooperative, and law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell—do not reflect purchases of ophthalmic lachrymal probes or related diagnostic instruments. The single opportunity with plausible relevance is San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services (due November 6, 2026), which addresses ophthalmologic screening but does not specify purchase of probes. The fiber splicing, general medical supplies, and law enforcement equipment opportunities appear to have been misclassified under this code and do not represent the actual work being bought.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunity set is diffuse—Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative operates in north-central Florida, San Mateo Medical Center serves San Mateo County, California, and the cooperative vehicle opportunities span multiple states through Sourcewell (Minnesota) and NASPO ValuePoint. No repeat buyers or concentrated purchasing pattern emerges. Business development teams evaluating this code should verify whether state and local health systems, hospital networks, or ophthalmology clinics are actively procuring lachrymal probes or related diagnostic instruments through direct solicitations; the current tagged opportunities provide no reliable signal of sustained demand under the code's intended scope.
