UNSPSC 42183027: Tangent screen test objects kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform tangent scree tests procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Tangent screen test objects kits under 21 CFR 886.1810 and under FDA product code HOJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183027 Tangent screen test objects kits, a Commodity code, does not align with the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code—handheld retinal screening devices from San Mateo Medical Center, prescription eyeglasses and fitting services from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and ophthalmic instruments and supplies from Santa Clara County—cover diagnostic devices, vision correction products, and clinical ophthalmic equipment rather than test object kits. The issuing bodies include county health systems, state health agencies, and county specialty care departments, indicating that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify broader ophthalmic goods and services procurement rather than the specific test-object-kit products the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP (response due November 6, 2026) for handheld retinal screening devices with EPIC integration, 24/7 support, and HIPAA compliance across outpatient, acute-care, and long-term-care settings; the contract runs three years with a local business preference of 5 to 10 percentage points. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (response due July 15, 2026) for prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services at Mexia State Supported Living Center on a blanket purchase order with historical spending of $48,370.65 and a one-year renewable contract term. Santa Clara County issued an ITB (response due July 10, 2026) for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories at the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department on a three-year all-or-none basis with no guaranteed minimum volumes. The code appears to suffer from classification mismatch rather than representing genuine demand for tangent screen test objects in state and local procurement.
