UNSPSC 42183074: Ophthalmic abberometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a calibration component for use in calibrating and certifying the accuracy of an ophthalmic wavefront sensor comprises a monolithic, plano-convex refractive optic having known amounts of one or more selected aberrations in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183074 Ophthalmic aberrometers, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code in the past four months are unrelated to the code's nominal scope: a Kissimmee Utility Authority IFB for a precision high-voltage capacitance and power dissipation factor test module (posted September 28, 2026, due September 22, 2026); a City of Tampa RFQ for a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer as a direct replacement for waste-to-energy facility equipment (posted June 25, 2026, due June 12, 2026); and a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple counties and public entities across Washington state and nationwide (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026). None of these procurements involves ophthalmic diagnostic equipment or vision-testing instruments, the products this code is designed to cover.

The mismatch between the code's stated commodity class and the actual work being solicited signals that either the code has been applied incorrectly by the issuing jurisdictions or the code sees minimal authentic use in state and local procurement at this time. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify directly with procuring agencies whether they are actively seeking ophthalmic aberrometers through their procurement channels, as the available recent records do not support active market activity in this commodity class.
