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 code's name references specialized eye-care surgical instruments, but the most recent contract opportunities posted under this classification—spanning May 2026 through March 2026—include law enforcement equipment, career technical education resources, temporomandibular joint arthroscopy systems, and outpatient building furniture. None of these solicitations involve ophthalmic or lachrymal probes or related eye-care instrumentation, indicating a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the work actually being solicited.
