UNSPSC 42182005: Ophthalmoscopes or otoscopes or scope sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a is used to inspect the fundus of the eye or its associated consumables in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmoscopes or otoscopes or scope sets under 21 CFR 876.15 8 and under FDA product code KYH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42182005 Ophthalmoscopes or otoscopes or scope sets, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this classification. The four most recent opportunities on record show minimal relevance to diagnostic ophthalmic or otologic instruments. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services represents the closest match to the code's nominal scope—the solicitation calls for portable, battery-powered retinal screening devices with integrated displays, wireless connectivity, EHR integration, on-site training, 24/7 technical support, warranty coverage, and HIPAA-compliant maintenance—but retinal imaging equipment represents a specialized subset of ophthalmic tools and does not encompass traditional ophthalmoscopes or otoscopes. The remaining three opportunities (Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative's fiber splicing services, Texas's NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies cooperative, and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment and physical health products vehicles) fall entirely outside diagnostic instrument procurement and appear to be misclassified under this code.

State and local procurement activity specifically targeting ophthalmoscopes, otoscopes, or diagnostic scope sets shows no recent solicitation record. The code's issuing-body profile, geographic spread, and representative opportunities cannot be reliably characterized from the available data. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat current activity as minimal and verify directly with end-use departments—health departments, school districts, county clinics, and hospital systems—whether procurement cycles for diagnostic scopes are scheduled or in planning stages outside the public-notice window captured here.
