UNSPSC 42296415: Endoscopic surgical units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a catheter adapter used in an endoscopic procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Endoscopic surgical units under 21 CFR 878.44 and under FDA product code GEI. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42296415 Endoscopic surgical units is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with endoscopic equipment procurement. Of the five opportunities in the record, only one—San Mateo Medical Center's handheld retinal screening devices and services solicitation (RFP 660002627264, due November 6, 2026)—involves medical diagnostic devices relevant to the code's scope. That RFP seeks portable, battery-powered retinal screening equipment with integrated displays, wireless connectivity, EPIC EHR integration, on-site training, 24/7 technical support, and comprehensive maintenance for use across outpatient clinics, acute care, and long-term care facilities in San Mateo and Burlingame, California. The remaining opportunities—fiber splicing services for Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative, a NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies framework through Idaho, a Sourcewell physical health products cooperative vehicle, and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative—are tangentially or wholly unrelated to endoscopic surgical units. The mismatch suggests either coding error in the opportunities record or minimal current state and local procurement activity for endoscopic equipment under this specific Commodity designation.

San Mateo County is the only issuing body with a directly relevant recent opportunity. The retinal screening devices solicitation includes local business and local nonprofit preference scoring adjustments of 5 to 10 percentage points based on small or micro business certification; San Mateo County living wage ordinance applies to covered service contracts, with indexed hourly rates capped at 3.5 percent annual increases. Proposals are evaluated on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points); cyber liability insurance requirements ($5 million per occurrence) and HIPAA compliance are mandatory. Geographic activity under this code appears limited to California based on available recent records. The code shows little current activity in endoscopic surgical unit procurement among state and local buyers.
