UNSPSC 42183003: Exophthalmometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument used for measuring the degree of forward displacement of the eye in exophthalmos in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42183003 Exophthalmometers (Commodity) covers handheld and table-mounted devices that measure eye protrusion, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows a broader ophthalmic instruments focus spanning diagnostic equipment, specialized surgical tools, and associated clinical supplies. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of direct equipment procurement and cooperative framework agreements that serve ophthalmology departments, emergency medical services, and specialized clinical centers across multiple issuing bodies including county health systems, state healthcare agencies, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles.

County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0664 (due July 10, 2026) exemplifies the scope: a three-year all-or-none bid for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories supporting the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments, with bidders required to be qualified distributors or manufacturers and authorized service and maintenance providers across all listed equipment. The State of California's RFB IS-26200820 (due April 24, 2026) targeted the TONO-PEN AVIA applanation tonometer, a pressure-measurement device, emphasizing compliance with medical device standards and set-aside eligibility for small businesses and minority-owned enterprises. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026), structured as a cooperative procurement framework spanning multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions nationwide, positions ophthalmic and related diagnostic equipment within a broader law enforcement and emergency services equipment category, indicating cross-sector procurement integration. Activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary presence in Florida (Collier County) and Texas (school districts). The code shows no activity among school districts or transit authorities in the recent record.
