UNSPSC 42183067: Ophthalmic diagnostic viewing exam lenses

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that consists a single element diagnostic ophthalmic lens that is used for examination of the eye in conjunction with either an Indirect Ophthalmoscope or a Slit Lamp Biomicroscope in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ophthalmic diagnostic viewing exam lenses under 21 CFR 886.1385 and under FDA product code NYK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183067 Ophthalmic diagnostic viewing exam lenses, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its stated scope. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—a spectrophotometer replacement by the City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management, a cooperative law enforcement equipment framework by Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties, and a Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional materials RFP by Klein Independent School District in Texas—bear no substantive connection to ophthalmic diagnostic lenses or eyewear examination equipment. The spectrophotometer solicitation addresses environmental testing instrumentation; the law enforcement equipment RFP targets police and security apparatus; and the CTE procurement spans vocational and academic instructional resources. None of these opportunities align with the code's nominal scope of optical diagnostic viewing lenses used in vision examinations or eye-care diagnostics. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of these opportunities within the UNSPSC taxonomy or that state and local procurement agencies are not currently soliciting under this code for its intended product category.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—a city solid waste department, a state-local cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple county jurisdictions, and an independent school district—across Texas, Washington, and Minnesota. Geographic activity is dispersed rather than concentrated in any single region. Without recent opportunities actually aligned with ophthalmic diagnostic equipment or materials, the code presents no current market signal for business development professionals focused on state and local contracts in this product family.
