UNSPSC 31241804: Laser filters

UNSPSC 31241804 Laser filters is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses optical equipment components and accessories used in laboratory, educational, and law enforcement settings. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring microscopes, related optical accessories, and law enforcement equipment that incorporate filtering and optical components. The issuing bodies include state procurement offices, county governments, and cooperative purchasing networks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and agency types to achieve volume-based pricing leverage.

Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit serving as a cooperative purchasing vehicle) are the primary recent buyers. Texas Comptroller posted Solicitation 304T27490M2 on August 5, 2026, seeking microscopes and accessories through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network with a September 1, 2026 response deadline; the resulting indefinite-quantity, requirements-type agreement will serve state and local agencies statewide with firm fixed-price unit costs and specified warranty coverage. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, establishing a contracting solution available to thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. The geographic scope spans Texas and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state and participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), with the Sourcewell vehicle serving a national and cross-border footprint for law enforcement applications.
