UNSPSC 42294540: Lachrymal intubation sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a lachrymal intubation set during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42294540 Lachrymal intubation sets is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialized ophthalmic medical devices — lacrimal duct intubation sets used in eye surgery and tear-duct treatment — yet the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number diverge sharply from that scope. The most recent posting, from Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative in October 2026, solicits fiber splicing and telecommunications maintenance services entirely unrelated to medical devices. A second opportunity, posted by San Mateo Medical Center in October 2026, requests handheld retinal screening devices and integration services — relevant to ophthalmology but outside the lacrimal intubation product category. Additional recent postings under this code cover general medical supplies through cooperative purchasing (via NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell) and law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell, none of which directly address lacrimal intubation sets. The code shows no recent state or local opportunities actually soliciting the nominal product.

Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work being solicited, pursue this code only if your firm supplies one of the tangentially related products now appearing under it — handheld retinal screening devices, general medical supplies, or telecommunications equipment — or if internal research identifies lacrimal intubation set demand outside these posted opportunities. The recent activity suggests either tagging inconsistency in the procurement system or a genuine gap in state and local demand for this specialized ophthalmic product category at present. Monitor future postings, but do not expect consistent alignment between UNSPSC 42294540 and actual lacrimal intubation procurement.
