UNSPSC 42183071: Corneal electrodes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an electrode comprising an electrically conductive metal wire conductively attached to a yarn of silver-coated nylon fibers. This electrode is employed to measure the change in an electric potential when the eye is subjected to light in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42183071 Corneal electrodes is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal recent alignment to its nominal scope. The three most-recent opportunities posted under or near this code do not involve corneal electrodes or ophthalmic equipment; instead, they cover precision electrical test modules (Kissimmee Utility Authority), spectrophotometers for waste-to-energy facility water testing (City of Tampa), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities). The code shows little relevant recent activity in ophthalmology, optometry, hospital, or clinic procurement, and the posted opportunities suggest either data-entry misclassification or a sharp mismatch between the code's intended product category and how it is currently tagged in state and local systems.

The geographic spread of the three recorded opportunities spans Florida (Kissimmee, Tampa) and a multi-state cooperative framework anchored in Minnesota and Washington. No pattern of repeat buying under this code is evident from the recent record. Kissimmee Utility Authority posted IFB 26046JG in September 2026 for a single precision high-voltage testing module (OMICRON CP TD12 or equivalent) with a value under $250,000 and response deadline of September 22, 2026; the City of Tampa posted RFQ 26-P-00372 in June 2026 for a replacement spectrophotometer (Heck DR4900) with a June 12, 2026 response deadline; and Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 to establish a multi-jurisdiction law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle with a June 16, 2026 deadline. A business pursuing this code should first verify correct UNSPSC classification with target buyers, as the recent record does not support active procurement of corneal electrodes or related ophthalmic instrumentation under this code number.
