UNSPSC 42183001 Eye charts or vision cards is a Commodity code covering vision-testing and diagnostic equipment distributed through state and local procurement channels. Recent solicitations show the code tracking ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories—including diagnostic devices and vision-assessment tools purchased by county health departments, specialized ophthalmology centers, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple school districts and public agencies. The issuing bodies span county health systems, regional purchasing cooperatives serving K-12 school districts and special education programs, and multi-state cooperative procurement vehicles that aggregate demand across dozens of jurisdictions. The County of Santa Clara and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) are recent active buyers; Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, posted a broader law enforcement equipment solicitation that appears to have included vision-screening or diagnostic products within a wider scope.

The code shows activity across Texas, California, and the Upper Midwest. The County of Santa Clara issued an all-or-none Invitation to Bid (ITB) for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories on June 21, 2026 with bids due July 10, 2026, establishing a three-year contract with estimated annual purchasing based on historical volume. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted a Catalog Discount Bid for special education and supplies on August 24, 2026 with bids due October 1, 2026, estimating $2,713,541 in expenditures over two years and expecting multiple awardees across its cooperative footprint. Both procurements require vendors to meet qualification and service-provision standards, accept purchase orders, and comply with specified terms and conditions. Pre-bid conferences and electronic submission are standard practice under these opportunities.
