UNSPSC 42182404: Auditory function screening unit calibration sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that calibrates auditory function screening devices in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42182404 Auditory function screening unit calibration sets is a Commodity code that covers calibration equipment and services for hearing screening and auditory testing instruments used by state and local health, occupational safety, and public health programs. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the nominal scope — the three most recent solicitations name occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), special education supplies (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and audio-visual systems for municipal council chambers (City of St. Marys, Georgia), none of which involve auditory function screening or calibration equipment. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the stated commodity.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Washington State, Texas, and Georgia, but these postings are mismatched to the code's actual definition. Issuing bodies include a state transportation department, a multi-state purchasing cooperative, and a city government, but none are procuring auditory screening calibration sets. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the commodity classification with issuing bodies or consult the UNSPSC hierarchy for hearing and auditory testing equipment calibration at a higher or adjacent code level, as current state and local activity under this Commodity code does not align with auditory function screening products or services.
