UNSPSC 42295505: Ophthalmic implants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a ophthalmic implant used in a surgical implantation procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic implants under 21 CFR 886.3340 and under FDA product code HQX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42295505 Ophthalmic implants, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers ocular surgical devices such as intraocular lenses, corneal implants, and retinal prosthetics, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification actually solicit cardiac rhythm management implants, spinal implants, and law enforcement equipment—none of which fall within ophthalmic scope. State and local buying entities that do procure implantable medical devices—including academic medical centers, county hospital districts, and cooperative purchasing consortiums—are active in the market, but the tagged opportunities reflect a classification mismatch rather than genuine ophthalmic procurement.

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA) solicited spinal implants and related surgical supplies via RFP 745-26-P04 with a response deadline of March 10, 2026, for its newly opened 144-bed Multispecialty and Research Hospital; the University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC), operated by the El Paso County Hospital District in Texas, issued RFP #784-03-26-001 for dual-vendor cardiac rhythm management implantable devices (pacemakers, ICDs, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices) with responses due April 29, 2026; and Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating jurisdictions in Washington state and nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026. These opportunities demonstrate that Texas health systems and regional purchasing consortiums are active buyers of implantable devices, but the ophthalmic implants code does not reflect genuine ophthalmic market activity at present.
