UNSPSC 42183048 Ophthalmic child fixation bars, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with responses due June 16, 2026—does not involve ophthalmic equipment or child fixation bars. The solicitation establishes a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment to be made available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the procuring agent on behalf of Participating Entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions nationwide.

The geographic scope spans Washington state and beyond to a national and cross-border footprint through the cooperative framework. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity—ophthalmic child fixation bars—and the actual solicitation content—law enforcement equipment—indicates either a miscoding by the issuing body or a data classification error. No other recent opportunities under this code are present in the source, making it difficult to characterize genuine demand for ophthalmic child fixation bars in the state and local market. Vendors should verify whether this code reflects actual procurement demand for the product class or whether state and local buyers are sourcing these items under alternative UNSPSC classifications, such as codes related to medical or surgical equipment.
