UNSPSC 42183034: Vision testing stereoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument to test binocular vision in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Vision testing stereoscopes under 21 CFR 868.1870 and under FDA product code HJQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42183034 Vision testing stereoscopes, a Commodity code, describes eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services that state and local government agencies purchase for beneficiaries at supported living facilities, specialized health centers, and educational programs. Recent solicitations show the code capturing routine procurement of prescription plastic lenses, bifocal and progressive lenses, polycarbonate lenses, plastic and flexible frames, and associated fitting labor — products and services delivered through blanket purchase orders and supply contracts rather than specialized diagnostic or testing equipment. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, counties operating specialized medical facilities, and school districts sourcing vision care products as part of career technical education or health services curriculum support.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017589 for eyeglasses and fitting services at Mexia State Supported Living Center (bids due July 15, 2026, with historical spending of $48,370.65 annually) and Klein Independent School District issuing RFP 26-101 for instructional resources across 17 CTE program areas including health sciences, with electronic proposals due June 5, 2026. Santa Clara County issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0664 for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories for its Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department (bids due July 10, 2026, three-year term), though that solicitation's broader scope extends beyond vision testing stereoscopes to full ophthalmology department support. The code shows limited recent activity — only three opportunities identified across the two-month window — and a modest scale of historical procurement volumes.
