UNSPSC 42183510: Anomaloscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument that are used for testing human color vision and have an optical facility for producing a red, a green and a yellow spectral color, and a facility for mixing the green and red spectral colors in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42183510 Anomaloscopes is a Commodity code that encompasses precision measurement and testing equipment used by utilities and environmental agencies, though recent state and local activity shows minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB 26046JG sought a precision high-voltage capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement module for integration with an existing OMICRON CPC100 test system, representing the kind of specialized diagnostic equipment utilities procure for power system assessment. The City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00372 targeted a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer as a direct replacement unit for its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility, addressing environmental monitoring and chemical analysis needs. Both opportunities reflect state and local demand for single-unit, replacement-class precision instrumentation rather than bulk commodity purchases. Issuing bodies have included utilities and municipal environmental divisions; a separate Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment does not materially represent activity under this code despite its posting in the opportunities block.

The recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. The Kissimmee Utility Authority IFB closed September 22, 2026, with an anticipated contract value under $250,000 and electronic submission required through VendorLink; the City of Tampa RFQ closed June 12, 2026, with FOB Destination delivery and 60-day firm pricing required. Geographic spread is limited — only two substantive opportunities appear — and both are utility or municipal environmental sector procurements. The code shows sparse recent activity; state and local governments do not appear to be sourcing anomaloscopes or closely related precision optical test equipment under this classification at scale or with frequency that would support sustained market pursuit.
