UNSPSC 42183079: Ophthalmic specular microscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that in which the image of a slit aperture of an illumination optical system is formed at an endothelial cell layer of an eye to be examined and including a light intercepting plate having a main aperture and additional apertures adjacent said main aperture so that an image of the endothelial cell layer is formed at said main aperture and a reflection light reflected by a corneal surface of the eye is transmitted through said additional apertures of said light intercepting plate in a medical setting.

Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903180.

UNSPSC 42183079 Ophthalmic specular microscopes, a Commodity code, shows little recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not procure ophthalmic specular microscopes; instead, they solicit precision high-voltage test equipment (Kissimmee Utility Authority), a spectrophotometer for waste-to-energy operations (City of Tampa), and a framework for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative). The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code does not see active procurement demand in the state and local market today.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Florida (Kissimmee and Tampa) and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota (Sourcewell), but the opportunities themselves lie outside ophthalmic instrumentation. Kissimmee Utility Authority posted IFB 26046JG on September 28, 2026 (due date already passed as of October 20) for an OMICRON CP TD12 Testing Module under $250,000. The City of Tampa posted RFQ 26-P-00372 in June 2026 for a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer. Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment, available to participating counties and public entities across multiple states. No recent solicitations for ophthalmic diagnostic or surgical microscopy equipment appear in the record.
