UNSPSC 42296300: Endoscopes

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in customizing endoscopic equipment.

UNSPSC 42296300 Endoscopes is a Class code that encompasses surgical visualization and instrumentation equipment for minimally invasive procedures. State and local governments—principally California's healthcare system and other state health departments—procure endoscopic systems, arthroscopy kits, and accessory components for TMJ and other joint surgical applications. The code captures both complete systems and specialized accessory assemblies designed to meet clinical performance and sterilization standards for operating room use.

California's State of California dominates recent activity under this code, posting three separate RFBs in April 2026 for different-sized arthroscopy accessory systems (1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm variants) intended for temporomandibular joint procedures across state healthcare facilities. All three RFBs—RFBIS26200858, RFBIS26200859, and RFBIS26200860—closed May 5, 2026. Vendors must hold Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status or demonstrate eligibility for set-aside consideration under California's diversity and inclusion contracting requirements. Bidders are required to submit technical compliance documentation, insurance evidence, and completed mandatory forms; failure to submit complete documentation results in rejection. No specific award values or budget ranges appear in the available solicitation materials. The code shows concentrated activity in California state procurement rather than dispersed municipal or county-level buying, and represents capital equipment acquisition for healthcare delivery rather than routine operational supplies.
