UNSPSC 27113301: Magnifying glass

A device containing two convex lenses which are used to produce a magnified image of an object. The lenses are usually mounted in a frame with a handle.

UNSPSC 27113301 Magnifying glass is a Commodity code that covers hand-held and stationary magnification devices procured by state and local agencies for inspection, quality assurance, laboratory analysis, and general field work. The code captures both simple handheld magnifiers and more specialized optical instruments used across diverse public-sector functions, from building inspection to evidence examination in law enforcement and forensic settings.

State and local purchasing activity under this code is sparse. No recent opportunities appear in the procurement record for this Commodity code, indicating either minimal or infrequent solicitation at the state and local level. Given the low-value and consumable or durable-goods nature of magnifying devices, most jurisdictions likely source these through existing inventory management channels, cooperative purchasing agreements with office-supply vendors, or small-purchase orders below formal solicitation thresholds rather than through posted RFPs or ITBs.
