UNSPSC 42183058: Visual field laser instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a laser based instrument to measure a person's field of sight in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Visual field laser instruments under 21 CFR 888.1360 and under FDA product code HPJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901320.

UNSPSC 42183058 Visual field laser instruments (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers optical laser-based diagnostic equipment for vision testing, yet the three opportunities posted under it in the past three months span spectrophotometry hardware replacement, law enforcement equipment contracting, and K-12 educational resources — none of which are visual field laser instruments. The spectrophotometer purchase from the City of Tampa is a direct replacement procurement for an existing Heck DR3900 unit at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility, representing equipment maintenance rather than visual field diagnostics. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP and Klein ISD education RFP appear to be miscoded entirely relative to the UNSPSC taxonomy for this code.

Issuing bodies across the three opportunities include a city solid waste department, a state cooperative purchasing unit serving multi-state participating entities, and an independent school district. Geographic activity centers on Texas (Klein ISD, Harris County) and involves multi-state reach through Sourcewell's Minnesota-based cooperative framework serving Washington counties and entities nationwide. Recent response dates cluster in June 2026 (Tampa RFQ due June 12, Sourcewell RFP due June 16, Klein ISD RFP due June 5). The code shows no current procurement activity genuinely aligned with visual field laser instruments as a commodity class; buyers pursuing instruments in that category should verify code assignment before quoting under 42183058.
