UNSPSC 31241803: Infrared filters

UNSPSC 31241803 Infrared filters, a Commodity code, covers optical components and accessories sourced by state and local governments for laboratory, educational, and scientific instrumentation applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of microscopes, optical lenses, frames, and related accessories that support educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and research laboratories. The buying agencies span state education procurement offices, cooperative purchasing networks, and state health or science departments; Texas and Michigan dominate recent activity, with Texas operating a multi-agency cooperative purchasing vehicle to consolidate microscope and accessory procurement across state and local education and laboratory users.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Requisition 304T-27-490M2 through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) on August 5, 2026, as an indefinite-quantity, requirements-type cooperative agreement soliciting proposals for microscopes and accessories with a response deadline of September 1, 2026. The agreement establishes firm fixed-price unit costs and allows multiple participating Texas state and local agencies to draw on pre-negotiated pricing; respondents must provide mandatory certifications, a completed price sheet with line-item unit pricing, and warranty specifications covering defects and repairs. Michigan posted a Notice of Intent for RFP 250000002612 on July 27, 2026, concerning optical lenses and frames, though the underlying RFP scope, contract value, and evaluation criteria are not disclosed in available summaries. Geographic activity is limited to Texas and Michigan in the recent opportunity block; the cooperative purchasing structure in Texas suggests sustained demand across multiple state and local buyers within that jurisdiction.
