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 alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The two posted opportunities under this code—occupational medical surveillance services from the Washington State Department of Transportation and law enforcement equipment from Sourcewell cooperative purchasing—do not involve ophthalmic implants or related ophthalmologic products. The code nominally spans intraocular lenses, corneal implants, and similar surgically implanted optical devices typically procured by health systems, hospitals, or specialty eye clinics; state and local bodies do not routinely solicit these products directly through public procurement channels, as they are generally acquired through health-system supply chains or vendor-managed inventory agreements rather than competitive RFPs or ITBs.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests either mis-tagging by the issuing bodies or that this code captures minimal relevant state and local procurement activity in the current environment. No recent solicitations identified in the opportunity block target ophthalmic implants, surgical supplies, or related ophthalmologic goods. If pursuing activity under this code, verify with specific target jurisdictions—particularly regional health authorities, state medicaid agencies, or state-operated eye-care clinics—whether they use this UNSPSC designation in active procurements, as current public notices offer no evidence of demand.
