UNSPSC 42183090: Ophthalmic metal locators

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 42183090 Ophthalmic metal locators is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement activity focused on specialized testing and measurement equipment rather than ophthalmic devices. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect purchases of precision electrical test modules, spectrophotometers, and law enforcement equipment — a divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. State and local governments soliciting under this code include utility authorities, municipal environmental programs, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multi-jurisdictional public-sector coalitions.

The most recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Kissimmee Utility Authority posted IFB 26046JG in September 2026 for one OMICRON CP TD12 testing module with capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement capability compatible with its existing CPC100 test system, with a contract value under $250,000 and a response deadline that has passed. The City of Tampa, Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management issued RFQ 26-P-00372 in June 2026 for a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer to replace an existing unit at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to multiple Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide, with a June 2026 response deadline. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the equipment actually being purchased suggests this code may not be the optimal entry point for ophthalmic device vendors, though the recent activity shows state and local governments do use it for precision measurement and testing equipment procurement.
