UNSPSC 42296312: Ureteroscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an endoscope for visually examining and passing instruments into the interior of the ureter in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ureteroscopes under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code FGB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296312 Ureteroscopes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four opportunities posted since September 2026 span fiber-optic splicing services for an electric cooperative, medical supplies through a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle, handheld retinal screening devices for a county hospital system, and law enforcement equipment through a state cooperative purchasing consortium—none of which involve urological instruments or ureteroscopes. The single solicitation with potential medical-device relevance, San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services (660002627264, due November 6, 2026), addresses ophthalmic rather than urological equipment and does not intersect with the code's stated commodity.

Geographic and issuing-body activity is scattered across jurisdictions with no meaningful concentration. Recent postings come from Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (Florida), Texas (posting on behalf of Idaho through NASPO ValuePoint), San Mateo County (California), and Sourcewell (Minnesota). The code does not demonstrate current demand from state departments, counties, school districts, or transit authorities for ureteroscopes or related urological instrumentation. Absent evidence of active state and local solicitation under this commodity code, the opportunity pipeline appears dormant for vendors in this product category.
