UNSPSC 42296307: Cholangioscopes or choleducoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a endoscope that can engage in both direct visual diagnostic evaluation and simultaneous therapeutic intervention of the bile ducts in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Cholangioscopes under 21 CFR 877.1330 and under FDA product code PGD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296307 Cholangioscopes or choleducoscopes is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four most recent opportunities posted under this code—fiber splicing services for an electric cooperative, a statewide medical supplies framework through NASPO ValuePoint, handheld retinal screening devices for a county hospital system, and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for physical health products—bear no relationship to cholangioscopes, choleducoscopes, or related endoscopic instrumentation. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or a wholesale mislabeling of these opportunities in the source material.

No representative recent opportunities exist under this code for which the solicited goods or services match the UNSPSC definition. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of code tagging in the underlying state and local procurement database before committing resources to pursuit; the current activity stream does not support a viable market signal for cholangioscope or choleducoscope procurement among state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or other state and local buying entities.
