UNSPSC 42296314: Echoendoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an endoscope fitted with an ultrasound probe. It is used to visualize both the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract and abnormalities that are present in or near the wall of the intubated organ in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Echoendoscopes 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 42296314 Echoendoscopes is a Commodity code that covers specialized surgical instrumentation for minimally invasive procedures, though the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little direct alignment with echoendoscopy equipment. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span law enforcement equipment, educational resources, arthroscopy systems for temporomandibular joint surgery, and healthcare facility furniture — indicating either systematic tagging misalignment or that purchasing offices are using the code as a catch-all for medical and specialized equipment procurement. The issuing bodies include state healthcare systems (California), state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell), independent school districts (Klein ISD in Texas), and county law enforcement jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond. The mix reflects both direct state procurement and cooperative purchasing frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple governmental entities.

Recent activity concentrates in California, which issued four RFBs in April 2026 for specialized surgical equipment including 1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm arthroscopy accessory systems for TMJ procedures (due May 5, 2026) and outpatient building furniture (due April 2, 2026), all requiring Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification and compliance with state small business and minority enterprise participation goals. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, with the contract available to thousands of public entities including K–12 school districts and tribal governments nationwide. Klein ISD in Harris County, Texas posted RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources across 17 CTE program areas (due June 5, 2026), with contract performance beginning September 1, 2026 under a firm fixed-price structure with optional renewals and active encouragement of HUB, MWBE, SBE, and veteran-owned business participation. The code shows minimal recent activity directly matching echoendoscopy scope.
