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 is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying primarily as integrated handheld retinal screening devices and comprehensive eyeglass services—including frames, lenses, and fitting—rather than traditional stereoscopes alone. The recent solicitations show a shift toward portable diagnostic equipment with digital connectivity and electronic health record integration on one end, and basic vision correction services on the other. Issuing bodies include county health systems, state health and human services agencies, and county specialty medical centers. San Mateo Medical Center, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the County of Santa Clara have all posted solicitations under or closely aligned with this code in the past four months, suggesting activity across both large public health systems and state supported-living facilities. The scope spans high-volume ambulatory care delivery, long-term care, and state institutional settings.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for handheld retinal screening devices and services due November 6, 2026, requiring portable battery-powered devices with wireless connectivity, EPIC integration, on-site training, 24/7 support, and three-year maintenance and warranty; local business and nonprofit preferences apply with scoring adjustments up to 10 points. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services for Mexia State Supported Living Center due July 15, 2026, with historical annual spending of $48,370.65 and unit pricing capped between $50.00 and $2,000.00. The County of Santa Clara posted an ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories serving the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments, due July 10, 2026, as a three-year all-or-none contract with no guaranteed minimum orders. Both California and Texas opportunities carry significant compliance and service delivery requirements, including HIPAA and Section 504 compliance for medical devices, and authorized distributor and service-provider status for ophthalmic products.
