UNSPSC 42296311: Cystoscopes or cystourethroscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a slender tubular medical instrument for examining the interior of the urethra and urinary bladder in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Cystoscopes or cystourethroscopes under 21 CFR 884.1690 and under FDA product code HIH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296311 Cystoscopes or cystourethroscopes is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers specialized urological diagnostic and surgical instruments, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span fiber-optic splicing services, broad medical supplies catalogs, handheld retinal screening devices, and law enforcement equipment — none of which are cystoscopes or related urological endoscopy equipment. This mismatch suggests either tagging errors in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended product category.

The handful of opportunities tagged to this code originate from a diverse mix of issuing bodies: Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (a Florida utility cooperative), Texas purchasing on behalf of Idaho state agencies through NASPO ValuePoint, San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated hospital system in California), and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple state and local entities). Geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, Idaho, California, Minnesota, and Washington. No recent opportunities in the source material reflect procurement of cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, or urological endoscopy equipment from state health departments, county hospitals, or municipal medical systems. State and local buyers seeking actual cystoscopy equipment should verify their procurement platforms directly or consult with the issuing medical institutions, as this UNSPSC code does not currently surface relevant opportunities.
