UNSPSC 42294536: Capsular tension ring injector

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used with capsular tension rings in surgical procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42294536 Capsular tension ring injector is a Commodity code that names a specialized ophthalmic surgical device, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code bear no relevance to ophthalmic surgery or capsular tension rings. The available procurement activity shows a pronounced mismatch: the code appears in a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for general law enforcement equipment, a Klein Independent School District RFP for career and technical education instructional resources, and four State of California RFBs for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy systems and healthcare facility furniture. None of these solicitations involve ophthalmology, cataract surgery, or devices designed for intraocular lens support. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope.

The geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas, with Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) serving a multi-state and multi-jurisdictional client base. Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell RFP 061626 (Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026), Klein ISD RFP 26-101 (Career Technical Education & Advanced Academics, due June 5, 2026), and three California RFBs for TMJ arthroscopy systems (RFBIS26200858, RFBIS26200859, RFBIS26200860, all due May 5, 2026). The tagging of these diverse procurements under a single ophthalmic-device code appears to reflect data quality issues in the upstream procurement system rather than actual demand for capsular tension ring injectors in state and local government markets. Firms pursuing device contracts should verify code accuracy before allocating resources to this category.
