UNSPSC 42183053: Interpupillary distance meters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that measures the distance between the center of the pupils of the two eyes in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183053 Interpupillary distance meters is a Commodity code that captures optical measurement and inspection equipment used in clinical, laboratory, and specialized analytical settings. State and local procurement activity under this code is sparse; the recent opportunity records show minimal direct purchasing aligned with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent state and local solicitations posted against this code involve a spectrophotometer for wastewater testing (City of Tampa), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and career technical education instructional resources (Klein ISD)—none of which are interpupillary distance meters or closely related optical instruments. The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy marker for equipment categories that do not map cleanly to primary procurement intent, limiting its utility as a demand signal for vendors in optical measurement or vision-testing equipment.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas (Klein ISD, Harris County), Florida (City of Tampa), and a multistate cooperative under Washington law (Sourcewell, covering Washington, Minnesota, and participating jurisdictions nationwide). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa's RFQ 26P00372 (posted June 25, 2026, due June 12, 2026) for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer direct replacement at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility, Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and Klein ISD's RFP 26-101 (posted April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026) for career technical education and advanced academics resources. The code shows no established pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated issuing-body activity. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is not a reliable lens for identifying genuine interpupillary distance meter demand in state and local markets.
