UNSPSC 42296313: Duodenoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a flexible, lighted tubes that are threaded through the mouth, throat, and stomach into the top of the small intestine (duodenum) in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Duodenoscopes under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code FDT. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296313 Duodenoscopes (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes endoscopic medical devices, yet the four opportunities posted between May and October 2026 and tagged to this code involve fiber-splicing maintenance services, general medical supplies through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, handheld retinal screening devices, physical health products, and law enforcement equipment — none of which align with duodenoscope procurement or use. The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the actual work solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or incidental tagging that does not reflect genuine buying activity under this Commodity code.

State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring duodenoscopes through transparent notice channels as of October 2026. Without evidence of recent duodenoscope-specific solicitations, no assessment of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative opportunities can be made under this code. Business development teams should verify whether duodenoscope procurement at state and local health systems is occurring through other procurement vehicles (GPOs, direct relationships with manufacturers, or federal cooperative purchasing frameworks) rather than through open competitive RFP or RFQ processes.
