UNSPSC 42295114: Phacoemulsification or extrusion or vitrectomy equipment for ophthalmic surgery

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with phacoemulsification or extrusion or vitrectomy equipment or for ophthalmic surgeries. US FDA regulates Phacoemulsification or extrusion or vitrectomy equipment or accessories for ophthalmic surgery under 21 CFR 888.4670 and under FDA product code HQC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42295114 Phacoemulsification or extrusion or vitrectomy equipment for ophthalmic surgery (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to the code's scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not center on ophthalmic surgical equipment; instead, San Mateo County Medical Center has solicited laser equipment and technical support for general operating room use and surgical power instruments through RFPs posted in May and June 2026. These procurements involve equipment installation, maintenance, and qualified technical staffing for acute-care hospital operations rather than the specialized ophthalmologic devices the code nominally describes. Additional opportunities tagged to this code include furniture procurement from the State of California for outpatient buildings, law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties, and phlebotomy services for the Nevada State Police—none of which align with ophthalmic surgery equipment.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), state agencies (California, Nevada), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). San Mateo County Medical Center appears twice with distinct surgical equipment RFPs, suggesting ongoing operating room modernization rather than specialized ophthalmic focus. Geographic activity is scattered across California, Nevada, Washington, and Minnesota without concentration in a single jurisdiction. Given the mismatch between the code's scope and the opportunities posted beneath it, this code shows little relevant recent procurement activity for ophthalmic phacoemulsification, extrusion, or vitrectomy equipment. State and local procurement offices may be tagging general surgical equipment and support services incorrectly under this Commodity code rather than routing them to broader surgical equipment families.
