UNSPSC 42182402: Audiometric bone vibrators or middle ear analyzers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device using vibrations to measure the efficiency of the middle ear in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903020.

UNSPSC 42182402 Audiometric bone vibrators or middle ear analyzers is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), special education and supplies catalog discounts (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and audio-visual systems for municipal government facilities (City of St. Marys, Georgia). None of these solicitations involves audiometric bone vibrators or middle ear analyzers as described in the code name; the mismatch suggests the code is being applied to broader medical or technical service categories without precision alignment to the actual commodity.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance through Washington State Ferries, due October 9, 2026, represents the most plausible connection—occupational health screening may incidentally involve hearing assessments—but the solicitation emphasizes baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members, with no specific mention of audiometric or middle ear diagnostic equipment. No recent state or local procurement activity is currently visible that targets audiometric bone vibrators or middle ear analyzers as standalone products or services for health departments, school districts, audiology clinics, or medical facilities. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal definition.
