UNSPSC 31241813: Reflection filter

An optical filter that reflects only the light of specific wavelength.

UNSPSC 31241813 Reflection filter is a Commodity code covering optical and microscopy components that state and local governments procure to support laboratory, educational, and scientific functions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for microscopes, optical lenses, frames, and supplementary accessories used in schools, colleges, research facilities, and public health laboratories. The issuing bodies include state education and procurement offices, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts using cooperative purchasing vehicles to consolidate demand across multiple state and local participating agencies, and the State of Michigan issuing individual RFPs for optical components. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet mandatory certifications, insurance requirements, warranty provisions, and Texas or Michigan regulatory compliance obligations, with pricing typically established on a firm fixed-unit-cost basis to standardize procurement across multiple end-users.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Michigan. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted Solicitation 304T27490M2 on August 5, 2026 through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) for microscopes and accessories with a September 1, 2026 response deadline, establishing an indefinite-quantity, requirements-type agreement with 120-day response validity and enabling participating state and local agencies to access pre-negotiated pricing. The State of Michigan issued a Notice of Intent for RFP 250000002612 on July 27, 2026 regarding optical lenses and frames, though the full RFP scope and timeline details are not disclosed in the available source material. The Texas cooperative model emphasizes volume consolidation and leveraged pricing across the state education and laboratory procurement base, while individual agencies retain independent purchasing authority under the agreement structure.
