UNSPSC 42182423: Audiometric testing electronic noise generators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that consists of a swept frequency generator, an amplifier, and an earphone. It is intended to introduce a masking noise into the non-test ear during an audiometric evaluation in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182423 Audiometric testing electronic noise generators, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three substantive recent opportunities—Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement, Klein Independent School District's career technical education and advanced academics RFP, and Hillsborough County's sole-source blood pressure cuff procurement—involve medical supplies, educational resources, and law enforcement gear rather than audiometric testing equipment or noise generators. The City of Tampa's sealed-bid solicitation for medical and first aid supplies (Bid 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) likewise targets emergency medical consumables for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division. These opportunities do not substantively reflect the code's intended commodity category, suggesting either a systematic misclassification of opportunities within the state and local procurement system or that this code does not receive material, relevant sourcing activity.

Geographic activity in the source spans Washington (Sourcewell cooperative serving multiple counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), and Florida (Hillsborough County and City of Tampa). No recent solicitations specifically for audiometric testing equipment or noise generators appear in the available opportunities block. If procurement activity under this code exists, it is not reflected in the recent state and local notices captured in the source material. Business development professionals should verify directly with state procurement offices and school districts whether audiometric testing—typically driven by occupational health and hearing conservation programs—is being sourced under this or a related code before committing pursue effort.
