UNSPSC 42183042: Depth perception apparatus

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that measures the amount of depth perception of a person in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183042 Depth perception apparatus is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve a spectrophotometer replacement for a municipal waste-to-energy facility, law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell, and career and technical education (CTE) instructional resources and equipment for an independent school district. None of these solicitations reflect depth perception equipment or apparatus in the conventional sense — spectrophotometers, law enforcement gear broadly scoped, and educational materials and equipment fall outside the category's stated commodity definition. Issuing bodies engaging under this code span municipal departments (solid waste), cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple county and statewide jurisdictions, and school districts, suggesting the code may be misapplied or applied as a broad catch-all for equipment and apparatus procurement where no more precise code exists.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Florida (City of Tampa), Washington and Minnesota (Sourcewell cooperative covering multiple counties in both states), and Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County). The City of Tampa, Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management issued RFQ 26-P-00372 for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer with a response deadline of June 12, 2026. Sourcewell, on behalf of Participating Entities in Washington and Minnesota counties, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline. Klein ISD issued RFP #26-101 for CTE and Advanced Academics resources with a June 5, 2026 deadline. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or that depth perception apparatus functions as a residual taxonomy bucket for measurement and detection equipment where category precision is unavailable.
