UNSPSC 42295550: Scleral buckling components

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a scleral buckling component during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Scleral buckling components under 21 CFR 886.3340 and under FDA product code HQX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901850.

UNSPSC 42295550 Scleral buckling components, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code—law enforcement equipment through a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), career and technical education instructional resources from Klein Independent School District in Texas, three temporomandibular joint arthroscopy systems from the State of California, and outpatient building furniture from California—are plainly unrelated to ophthalmic surgical implants or scleral buckling procedures. This mismatch between the code designation and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local opportunities database or that scleral buckling components are not actively procured through state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB channels at present.

The code presents minimal decision relevance for business development professionals focused on scleral buckling component sales to state and local health systems, school districts, law enforcement, or other public entities. No recent solicitations explicitly name ophthalmic implants, ocular prosthetics, or eye surgery equipment. If activity under this code exists, it is not reflected in the recent opportunities block. Firms specializing in scleral buckling components should verify the code's accuracy against their target procurement channels and consider whether direct outreach to state health departments, hospital purchasing coalitions, or managed-care networks—outside formal competitive solicitation—represents a higher-yield business development path.
