UNSPSC 42296333: Peritoneoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an endoscope that can be passed into the peritoneal cavity through a small incision in the abdominal wall so as to allow inspection of the peritoneum in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296333 Peritoneoscopes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. The source records five recent solicitations: three from the State of California for arthroscopy accessory systems (1.8mm, 1.9mm, and 2.7mm TMJ-specific instrumentation kits with bid deadlines in May 2026), one from the State of California for outpatient building furniture, and one from Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington state and beyond. Of these five, only the three arthroscopy system bids bear any connection to minimally invasive surgical instrumentation; the furniture and law enforcement equipment solicitations fall outside the peritoneoscope category entirely. The arthroscopy systems are specialized medical devices designed for temporomandibular joint procedures, distinct from peritoneoscopes used in abdominal cavity visualization.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in California, where the State issued three Requests for Bids for arthroscopy accessory systems in April 2026 with a May 5, 2026 deadline. These procurements required submission of mandatory forms including Certified Business Enterprise documentation, technical specifications compliance, and firm fixed pricing; bidders could qualify for set-aside consideration under California's diversity and inclusion contracting requirements. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, encompasses participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends nationally through Sourcewell's cooperative framework, but does not align with peritoneoscope procurement. The code demonstrates limited and largely mislabeled recent state and local activity.
