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 is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct procurement activity under this specification. The recent opportunities block contains one orthogonal posting for surgical power equipment and four unrelated furniture, laser equipment, and law enforcement procurements that fall outside the scope of phacoemulsification, extrusion, and vitrectomy systems. San Mateo County Medical Center did solicit surgical power equipment via RFP (solicitation 666002526249, due May 28, 2026), representing a five-year contract for replacement power instruments, but this addresses general surgical power rather than ophthalmologic-specific systems. The code shows no recent solicitations for the ophthalmic surgical devices its name describes—phacoemulsification probes, phacoemulsification units, vitrectomy packs, or vitrectomy machines—from state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities in the posted opportunities.

State and local procurement activity under this code is not evident in current postings. Purchasing professionals evaluating this Commodity should monitor California state health facility procurements and county hospital systems for future ophthalmic equipment needs, particularly as existing surgical facilities undergo capital equipment refresh cycles. The absence of recent direct activity suggests either limited frequency of ophthalmic-surgery-equipment replacement cycles at the state and local level, procurement consolidation through group purchasing organizations or health system cooperatives, or tagging misalignment where ophthalmology purchases are filed under broader surgical-equipment or hospital-equipment codes rather than this specialized Commodity designation.
