UNSPSC 42294992: Endoscopic suction or irrigation instrument

Instrument used for endoscopic suction or irrigation

UNSPSC 42294992 Endoscopic suction or irrigation instrument is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local solicitation activity. The three posted opportunities under this code span equipment unrelated to endoscopic instruments: a dental imaging system (iTero Lumina Scanner), a general pool of dental and medical supplies, and a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment. State and local governments do not appear to be buying endoscopic suction or irrigation instruments through this code at present. The issuing bodies posting under the code include higher-education institutions (Valencia College in Florida and Texas A&M University) and a municipal wastewater authority (City of Arlington, Texas), but the work being procured bears no meaningful connection to the code's nominal scope.

The geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Valencia College's School of Allied Health issuing a sole-source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. for $143,196.00 (posted October 19, 2026, due November 27, 2025), and Texas A&M University's ITB for a pool of vendors to provide dental and medical equipment and supplies under ITB TAMHSC-26-0648 (posted August 20, 2026, due September 3, 2026). Neither opportunity involves endoscopic instruments. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to be misapplied to procurements falling outside its intended commodity scope.
