UNSPSC 42183020: Ophthalmic visual field plotters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument designed to test for the width and length of a person's field of vision in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183020 Ophthalmic visual field plotters, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The most recent opportunities posted under this code include a City of Tampa spectrophotometer replacement (RFQ 26P00372, due June 12, 2026), a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of Washington State counties and other jurisdictions (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026), and a Klein Independent School District request for career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026). None of these solicitations involve ophthalmic visual field plotters or related vision-testing equipment; instead, they span analytical instrumentation, public safety equipment, and educational materials and resources. The code mismatch signals either miscategorization in the issuing systems or incidental tagging that does not reflect the commodity's intended scope.

Recent activity under this code spans a diverse mix of issuing bodies — municipal solid waste programs, state-level service cooperatives serving multi-county and multi-state jurisdictions, and independent school districts — with no meaningful concentration among repeat buyers or geography. The City of Tampa, Sourcewell (representing counties in Washington State, Minnesota, and beyond), and Klein ISD (Texas) represent three distinct procurement models with no apparent pattern. Because the opportunities do not align with the code's nominal commodity description, the code does not provide a reliable signal for ophthalmic equipment vendors or business development professionals pursuing vision-testing markets in state and local procurement.
