UNSPSC 42294923: Endoscopic manipulators

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a manipulator in an endoscopic procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294923 Endoscopic manipulators is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four most-recent opportunities posted under this code—fiber splicing services (Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative), medical supplies (NASPO ValuePoint), handheld retinal screening devices (San Mateo Medical Center), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell)—reflect medical devices, utility infrastructure, and public safety equipment that fall outside the endoscopic-manipulator category. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation for retinal screening devices is the closest match to medical-device procurement, but retinal imagers are not endoscopic manipulators. The code appears to carry either a classification error in state and local systems or minimal actual buying activity under its intended scope.

No recent opportunities show endoscopic manipulators—articulated instruments for minimally invasive surgical visualization and intervention—being solicited by state or local health systems, hospitals, or medical procurement bodies. Buyers pursuing this code should confirm whether state and local procurement offices are actively tagging endoscopy equipment purchases under 42294923 or whether the code remains dormant in active state and local systems. The mismatch between code definition and recent filings suggests either a data-quality issue or genuine absence of demand under this Commodity code in the state and local market as of October 2026.
