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, sees minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its nominal scope: the City of Tampa's June 2026 RFQ sought a spectrophotometer (a light-measurement instrument for waste-to-energy facility testing), Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 addressed law enforcement equipment broadly, and Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 covered career and technical education instructional resources across 17 program areas. None of these solicitations involve ophthalmic aberrometers, which are precision diagnostic instruments used in eye care and ophthalmology practices to measure optical aberrations of the eye. The mismatch suggests the code receives little or no relevant state and local solicitation activity, or that posted opportunities are being tagged inconsistently with their actual scope.

No state and local procurement activity directly matching ophthalmic aberrometers is evident in the recent opportunity record. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify whether state and local health departments, eye care clinics, school districts with vision screening programs, or ophthalmology service contracts typically use this code, or whether the taxonomy tag reflects a broader medical diagnostic equipment category that obscures this specific commodity.
