UNSPSC 42311518: Medical eye pads or patches

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a medically related eye pad or patchUS FDA regulates Medical eye pads or patches under 21 CFR 886.4750 and under FDA product code HOY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300610.

UNSPSC 42311518 Medical eye pads or patches (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this specific code; state and local solicitations tagged with it are procuring flight helmets, first aid supplies, safety equipment, heat relief supplies, and firefighter protective equipment that fall outside the scope of ophthalmic patches.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations in the opportunity block suggests the code may be misapplied in the source data or that eye pads represent an ancillary line item within broader medical supply or PPE procurement efforts rather than a primary purchasing category. The opportunities that do appear—such as Pinellas County Schools' ITB for first aid supplies (estimated annual usage $130,000) and Jackson County, Missouri's safety equipment bid (estimated annual spending $32,000)—include general medical consumables but do not isolate or emphasize ophthalmic protection. Without recent opportunities explicitly and primarily focused on medical eye pads or patches as the core procurement driver, a business development professional evaluating this Commodity code should expect limited volume, sporadic opportunity flow, and likely competition bundled within larger medical supply or PPE contracts rather than standalone demand.
