UNSPSC 42183005: Ophthalmic colorimeters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument that measures the concentration of a known constituent of a solution by comparison with colors of standard solutions of that constituent in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183005 Ophthalmic colorimeters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it does not reflect the code's nominal scope. The County of Santa Clara posted a Request for Information (RFI) in April 2026 for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement — a lab information management system (LIMS) to support workflows at the county's public health laboratory. This procurement seeks a modern, scalable, and regulatory-compliant system rather than ophthalmic colorimetry equipment or related instrumentation. The mismatch between the code's stated product category and the actual work being solicited signals either a data-entry error in the county's tagging or a significant divergence between this code's intended scope and current procurement practice under it.

The single recent opportunity on record comes from a county-level health department in California. The County of Santa Clara RFI closed on April 22, 2026, with a fifteen-day response window. No budget, set-aside designation, incumbent vendor information, or detailed technical requirements appear in the posted materials. Given the sparse and off-code activity in the available record, this Commodity code shows little meaningful recent state and local procurement activity in its actual scope area.
