UNSPSC 42183021: Ophthalmic visual function analyzers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument that analyzes the extent of a person's visual functioning in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903020.

UNSPSC 42183021 Ophthalmic visual function analyzers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span utility test equipment (Kissimmee Utility Authority's precision high-voltage capacitance measurement module), water-treatment facility diagnostics (City of Tampa's waste-to-energy spectrophotometer), and broad law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell cooperative vehicle). None of these solicitations involve ophthalmic or visual function analysis equipment. The code appears to serve a broader instrumentation and analytical equipment category in practice, with state and local buyers using it to classify laboratory, utility, and environmental testing devices rather than medical or eye-care instruments. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities, city environmental programs, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple counties and state jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with the Kissimmee Utility Authority (IFB 26046JG, posted September 28, 2026) seeking a single OMICRON CP TD12 high-voltage test module valued under $250,000 with bids due September 22, 2026, the City of Tampa (RFQ 26-P-00372, posted June 25, 2026) requesting a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer for its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility with quotes due June 12, 2026, and Sourcewell (RFP 061626, posted May 12, 2026) managing a multi-state cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment with proposals due June 16, 2026. The code shows sparse recent state and local activity, and the opportunities recorded do not reflect the code's stated definition — suggesting either miscoding at the source or a functional divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local procurement practice for this equipment category.
