UNSPSC 23151704: Lens testing equipment

UNSPSC 23151704 Lens testing equipment is a Commodity code covering optical measurement and analysis instruments purchased by state and local governments for quality assurance, environmental monitoring, and specialized testing applications. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring spectrophotometers and related analytical equipment for facility operations and equipment replacement. The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division solicited a replacement Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer for its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility under RFQ 26P00372, with delivery required FOB Destination and firm pricing for 60 days. Issuing bodies have included city environmental programs, cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell serving thousands of participating governmental entities across multiple states, and independent school districts seeking CTE and advanced academics resources. The mix reflects municipal waste management operations, multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement frameworks, and K–12 district purchasing for instructional programs and specialized equipment.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with the City of Tampa (Florida) soliciting in June 2026 and Sourcewell (Minnesota-based cooperative serving Washington, California, and nationwide participants) posting in May 2026. The code shows limited recent activity — only three opportunities indexed — with most represented by the Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) and Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education resources (due June 5, 2026). The CTE solicitation explicitly encompasses multiple instructional categories and technology equipment but does not appear to target lens testing specifically. Recent procurement under this code has been sparse and fragmented across unrelated applications, suggesting limited concentration of demand and opportunity volume in this Commodity category at present.
