UNSPSC 42296306: Capsule endoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is an endoscope capable of using a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of the digestive tract in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Capsule endoscopes under 21 CFR 876.1330 and under FDA product code PGD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296306 Capsule endoscopes (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The four most recent state and local opportunities posted between May and October 2026 — a fiber splicing services RFP from Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative, a NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies RFP sponsored by Idaho, a handheld retinal screening devices RFP from San Mateo Medical Center, and cooperative purchasing RFPs from Sourcewell for physical health products and law enforcement equipment — do not align with the code's nominal scope of capsule endoscopes. The handheld retinal screening solicitation from San Mateo Medical Center (RFP 660002627264, due November 6, 2026) is the closest match in therapeutic intent, calling for portable diagnostic imaging devices with EPIC integration and 24/7 technical support for high-volume ambulatory settings, but the devices specified are retinal screening instruments rather than gastrointestinal capsules. The other three opportunities map to fiber infrastructure services, general medical supplies via cooperative purchasing, and law enforcement gear — categories with no connection to endoscopy.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflected in these four opportunities do not establish a meaningful market signal for capsule endoscopes at the state and local level. Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative is a special-purpose utility in north-central Florida; San Mateo Medical Center is a county public hospital system in California; Sourcewell is a Minnesota local government unit facilitating cooperative purchasing for multi-state participation. The code does not show repeat demand from school districts, transit authorities, or other common state and local health procurement actors, and no opportunities name capsule endoscopes explicitly. Firms evaluating this code should monitor state procurement offices and regional health systems for gastroenterology equipment solicitations, but the current activity record provides no actionable market signal.
