UNSPSC 42183076: Ophthalmic instrument stands

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42183076 Ophthalmic instrument stands is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show a significant mismatch: the three most recent solicitations cover precision high-voltage test equipment (a capacitance and dissipation factor measurement module for electrical utility testing), a laboratory spectrophotometer for waste-to-energy facility water analysis, and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment. None of these purchases relate to ophthalmic instrument stands or medical equipment for eye care. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The three opportunities span different issuing bodies and geographies: Kissimmee Utility Authority (a Florida municipal utility) posted IFB 26046JG in September 2026 for a single OMICRON CP TD12 testing module with a contract value under $250,000 and a due date of September 22, 2026; the City of Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management posted RFQ 26-P-00372 in June 2026 for a replacement Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating public entities nationwide, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Because the recent solicitations tagged to this code do not address ophthalmic instruments, business development professionals should verify whether the code is being misapplied in state procurement systems or whether activity under the correct taxonomy is occurring elsewhere.
