UNSPSC 42183011: Ophthalmic perimeters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument designed to measure and evaluate the area (visual field) within which stimuli projected on a curved surface will produce the sensation of sight with the eyes in a straight-ahead position in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183011 Ophthalmic perimeters is a Commodity code that covers laboratory and medical diagnostic instruments used to measure visual fields and related optical properties. Recent state and local solicitations show little direct activity in ophthalmic perimetry itself; the three recorded opportunities tagged to this code are actually requests for spectrophotometers (laboratory analysis equipment), law enforcement equipment frameworks, and career and technical education resources — none of which match the nominal scope of visual-field testing instruments. The City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00372 (due June 12, 2026) for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility is the closest match in equipment instrumentation, but it addresses water or effluent analysis rather than ophthalmology. The two other opportunities — Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment and Klein ISD's RFP #26-101 for career and technical education resources — appear to be misclassified against this code.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity across state and local jurisdictions. Available procurement records span Texas (Klein ISD), Minnesota and Washington (Sourcewell cooperative), and Florida (City of Tampa), but none involve actual ophthalmic perimetry procurement. No repeat buyers or concentrated issuing-body patterns emerge from these records. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the actual commodity classification in use by target state and local agencies, as the current sample suggests inconsistent or incorrect coding at the point of solicitation. A direct review of agency RFQ and RFP systems in target markets will likely yield more accurate activity signals than this code's current data record.
