UNSPSC 42183018: Ophthalmic tonometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument that performs an intraocular pressure test inside the eye in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic tonometers under 21 CFR 886.1930 and under FDA product code NJJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183018 Ophthalmic tonometers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses precision optical and analytical measurement equipment far broader than its nominal scope—including high-voltage test modules, spectrophotometers, and law enforcement gear. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; the three opportunities posted between May and September 2026 represent distinct product categories with limited overlap to tonometry or ophthalmic instrumentation. Kissimmee Utility Authority solicited a precision high-voltage capacitance measurement module (OMICRON CP TD12 Testing Module) under IFB 26046JG, the City of Tampa sought a replacement spectrophotometer (Heck DR4900) for its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility under RFQ 26-P-00372, and Sourcewell issued a cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota county jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's ophthalmic tonometer definition and the actual procurement categories suggests either miscoding in the source data or a code assignment problem at the issuing-body level.

Geographic spread across the recent block includes Florida (Kissimmee and Tampa), Washington, and Minnesota, with Sourcewell's cooperative vehicle serving a multi-state footprint. The Kissimmee IFB closes September 22, 2026, for a single fixed-price equipment module anticipated under $250,000 with no renewal options; Tampa's RFQ for the spectrophotometer closed June 12, 2026, with firm pricing required for sixty days and FOB Destination delivery. Sourcewell's RFP closed June 16, 2026, and establishes a framework contract available to multiple governmental agencies across the United States and Canada. None of these opportunities map cleanly to ophthalmic diagnostics or intraocular pressure measurement—the stated scope of UNSPSC 42183018—suggesting this code warrants review for coding accuracy if tonometry-related state and local procurement is the business development target.
