UNSPSC 42294953 Endoscopic extractors is a Commodity code that state and local governments tag to medical device procurement, though the recent solicitation activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span handheld retinal screening devices (San Mateo Medical Center), a cooperative purchasing vehicle for physical health products and related services (Sourcewell), and a broader law enforcement equipment contracting solution (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions). A fourth opportunity tagged to the code involves fiber splicing and maintenance services for an electric cooperative, which is unrelated to medical device procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it diverge significantly from endoscopic extractors and suggest misclassification or broad tagging practices by some issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), state-chartered cooperative purchasing consortia (Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint), and special-purpose utilities (Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative). San Mateo Medical Center's handheld retinal screening devices solicitation (RFP 660002627264, due November 6, 2026) requires portable, battery-powered devices with EPIC EHR integration, 24/7 support, and HIPAA compliance for use across outpatient clinics, acute care, and long-term care facilities in San Mateo and Burlingame, California. The contract term is three years, with local business preferences of 5–10 points and living wage requirements. Sourcewell's physical health products and services RFP (26RFP102026, due October 20, 2026) establishes a cooperative vehicle for its Participating Entities but provides no specific scope detail in available materials. Geographic activity centers on California and Minnesota, with secondary participation from Washington state and other jurisdictions through cooperative vehicles.
