UNSPSC 42183072 Ophthalmic measuring instruments, a Commodity code, receives minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single concrete opportunity under this code involves the City of Tampa's June 2026 RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer as a direct replacement for an existing DR3900 unit at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility — a spectrophotometer that measures light absorption properties, used here for wastewater quality control rather than clinical eye care. The other two opportunities posted during the same window (a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative RFP and a Klein ISD career technical education RFP) appear mislabeled under this code and are unrelated to ophthalmic instruments. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting ophthalmic measuring instruments through standard procurement channels at present; the code's recent activity consists almost entirely of a single industrial spectrophotometer replacement at a municipal solid waste facility in Florida.

The Tampa RFQ requires quotes by June 12, 2026, with firm pricing valid for sixty days and delivery FOB Destination. Vendors must provide proof of insurance, comply with Florida Public Records Law and non-discrimination provisions, and verify employment eligibility through E-Verify. The City reserves the right to adjust quantities and will make payment approximately thirty days after receipt and acceptance. Beyond Tampa's isolated opportunity, this code shows no material recent procurement activity from school districts, counties, transit authorities, or other state and local entities that would typically signal sustained market demand. Pursue only if you maintain existing relationships with municipal waste-to-energy facilities or industrial quality-control suppliers; otherwise, monitor the code for future activity.
