UNSPSC 42183013: Ophthalmic prisms

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument consisting of a transparent optical element, bounded by two planar, nonparallel refracting surfaces in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183013 Ophthalmic prisms, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to ophthalmic prisms: a Kissimmee Utility Authority IFB for a precision high-voltage capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement module (posted September 28, 2026, due September 22, 2026); a City of Tampa RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility (posted June 25, 2026, due June 12, 2026); and a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment available to multiple jurisdictions (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026). None of these solicitations involve optical prisms or related optical instruments.

The code shows no decision-relevant recent procurement activity for ophthalmic prisms at the state and local level. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the tagged opportunities suggests either category coding inconsistencies in the source data or that ophthalmic prism procurement through state and local channels is not currently generating posted solicitations. Firms pursuing ophthalmic prism sales to state and local buyers should verify coding practices with target procurement offices directly, as this Commodity code does not surface actionable recent opportunities in its current form.
