UNSPSC 42296316: Epiduroscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an endoscope used in the examination of the normal or pathologic structures in the epidural space in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Epiduroscopes 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 42296316 Epiduroscopes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevant procurement activity. Of five recent opportunities tagged to the code, only three bear any plausible connection to surgical instrumentation or medical devices: three California State RFBs for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy systems and accessories (1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm variants), posted in April 2026 with a May 5, 2026 bid due date. The remaining two opportunities—a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) and a Klein Independent School District RFP for career technical education and advanced academics resources (due June 5, 2026)—bear no relationship to epiduroscopes or surgical optics and appear to be miscoded. The California arthroscopy procurements represent the only substantively relevant activity under this code in the recent dataset.

California State is the only issuing body with recent epiduroscope-related procurement under this code. The three arthroscopy system RFBs (RFBIS26200858, RFBIS26200859, RFBIS26200860) target healthcare facilities across the state and require vendors to submit completed mandatory forms, technical compliance documentation, and California Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certifications. Bidders must meet detailed technical specifications for optics, instrumentation, and accessory components compatible with minimally invasive TMJ surgical procedures. Award values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation. The code shows little activity outside this narrow California procurement window, suggesting either sparse statewide demand for epiduroscopes or a broader miscoding issue in state and local procurement taxonomy.
