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, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show no direct relevance to corneal electrodes or ophthalmic instrumentation. The three most recent opportunities — a City of Tampa spectrophotometer replacement (RFQ 26P00372, due June 12, 2026), a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026), and a Klein Independent School District CTE and Advanced Academics procurement (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026) — address water-quality analysis equipment, law enforcement gear, and educational resources respectively. The code shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope of corneal electrodes or related ophthalmic diagnostic equipment.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Texas (Klein ISD, Harris County), Florida (City of Tampa), and a multi-state cooperative centered in Minnesota (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties). The mismatch between the UNSPSC category name and the work actually being solicited suggests either a misclassification in the state and local procurement databases or a data-tagging error. Firms pursuing business under this code should verify that opportunities are correctly categorized before committing resources to pursuit; the current record does not support active procurement demand for corneal electrodes or related equipment from state and local buyers.
