UNSPSC 42296335: Resectoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument consisting of a tubular fenestrated sheath with a sliding knife within it that is used for surgery within cavities in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Resectoscopes under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code FJL. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42296335 Resectoscopes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal relevant purchasing activity for resectoscopes themselves. Of the five recent solicitations in the block, only three relate to surgical equipment—all arthroscopy systems for temporomandibular joint procedures procured by the State of California in April 2026—and the remaining two (a law enforcement equipment cooperative from Sourcewell on behalf of Washington-state counties and a Klein ISD career-and-technical-education RFP in Texas) are plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The California arthroscopy procurements (RFB-IS-26200858, RFB-IS-26200859, RFB-IS-26200860) sought 1.9mm, 1.8mm, and 2.7mm arthroscopy access systems and accessory kits for minimally invasive surgical procedures, with bids due May 5, 2026. All three required submission of mandatory forms in Appendix A, technical specifications compliance, and Certified Business Enterprise certification where applicable under California's diversity and inclusion requirements. The code shows little recent activity in state and local procurement aligned with resectoscope sales.

Geographic spread in the limited surgical-equipment block is confined to California, where the State Health and Human Services Agency posted three separate RFBs for arthroscopy components in mid-April 2026. No issuing bodies outside California or other states have posted resectoscope or closely related endoscopic surgical-instrument solicitations in the recent-opportunities sample. The narrow geographic footprint and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased suggest that resectoscope-specific demand from state and local procurement offices is either routed through different UNSPSC codes, procured under longer contract cycles with less frequent posting, or concentrated in a small number of state healthcare systems and teaching hospitals. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buyers in their target geographies are actively sourcing resectoscopes independently or through group purchasing organizations and cooperative-purchasing vehicles tied to hospital networks.
