UNSPSC 42183070: Caloric-water stimulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a caloric testing apparatus for introducing water, under direct visual control, into the outer ear canal of a human subject for purposes of testing inner ear balance mechanisms in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183070 Caloric-water stimulators, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to the code involve precision high-voltage test equipment, spectrophotometers, and law enforcement equipment — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of caloric-water stimulators. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment in the source data or that state and local agencies are not actively procuring products matching the code's defined category.

The Kissimmee Utility Authority posted an IFB on September 28, 2026 for a single OMICRON CP TD12 high-voltage capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement module (contract value under $250,000, due September 22, 2026), and the City of Tampa, Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management issued an RFQ on June 25, 2026 for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility (quotes due June 12, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating jurisdictions nationwide (proposals due June 16, 2026). The geographic spread includes Florida (Kissimmee, Tampa), Washington, and Minnesota-based cooperative administration. Given the absence of opportunities directly matching the code's stated definition, this code merits limited pursuit unless the source data reflects assignment errors rather than actual procurement demand.
