UNSPSC 42294908: Endoscopic clamp or dissector or grasper or forceps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an endoscopic clamp or dissector or grasper or forceps during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Endoscopic clamp or dissector or grasper or forceps under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code GCJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294908 Endoscopic clamp or dissector or grasper or forceps is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities indexed under it show a marked mismatch with the code's nominal scope. The five most recent postings include a cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement by Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties; a Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics RFP by Klein ISD in Texas covering instructional supplies, STEM equipment, and technology; three California state RFBs for temporomandibular joint arthroscopy systems and accessory components; and one California RFB for outpatient furniture. Only the three TMJ arthroscopy system solicitations—covering 1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm minimally invasive surgical instrumentation from the State of California in April 2026—align with the endoscopic instrumentation category. The law enforcement, education, and furniture opportunities are unrelated to surgical clamps, dissectors, graspers, or forceps and appear to be miscoded.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local procurement under UNSPSC 42294908 is not supported by a demonstrated pattern of opportunities in the source data. The three valid surgical instrumentation RFBs were issued by the State of California with bid due dates of May 5, 2026, but they represent specialized procurement for a single customer (California healthcare facilities) rather than a broad issuing-body mix or geographic spread. Without additional opportunities beyond these three California procurements, this code does not currently display sufficient activity or issuing-body diversity to characterize as an active state and local market segment.
