UNSPSC 39111542: Magnifying lamp

A type of lamp that provides an increased area of vision and brightness for the user. Intended for work on small things where the need for magnification exists, for example electronic components,small items in crafts, hobbies and reading.

UNSPSC 39111542 Magnifying lamp, a Commodity code, describes lighting and visual equipment used in specialized inspection, precision work, and laboratory settings—yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show virtually no activity matching magnifying lamps or task lighting. The twenty-three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code span theatrical lighting systems (Pinellas County School District, Sarasota County Schools), site and field lighting (Carver Recreation Center, sports complex retrofits), commercial lighting fixtures and bulk supplies (City of Tucson, Orange County Transportation Authority), holiday decorative lighting (City of Douglasville, Sarasota County), airfield lighting systems (Lee County Port Authority), and interior facility renovations where lighting is one component among many. None of these solicitations seek magnifying lamps or individual handheld or bench-mounted optical inspection devices; the code assignment appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than a reflection of genuine procurement activity.

Activity under this code across recent months has been episodic and geographically scattered. School districts (Pinellas County in Florida, Bulloch County and Gwinnett County in Georgia, Gatesville ISD in Texas, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia) dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from municipalities (City of Sarasota, City of Douglasville, City of Tucson, City of Bartow), counties (Lee County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and special-purpose districts (Orlando Utilities Commission, Texas Facilities Commission). Georgia and Florida show the densest recent posting frequency, with Texas and other states trailing. Representative recent opportunities include Pinellas County School District's theatrical lighting renovation RFPs (responses due May 15, 2026, and October 8, 2026) under ITBs #26-CD-020 and #26-CD-037, seeking complete lighting system installations and maintenance services valued at approximately $400,000 to $501,000; Bulloch County Schools' LED lighting retrofit RFP for Mill Creek Elementary (responses due November 5, 2026) specifying prefab fixture models and a $200-per-day liquidated damages clause; and the City of Douglasville's holiday lighting installation RFP (responses due August 12, 2026) seeking itemized, location-by-location pricing for warm and cool white LED string lights, garlands, and 3D figures across seven municipal locations. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent buying patterns, firms specializing in magnifying lamps, optical inspection equipment, or precision task lighting will find little decision-relevant signal here; the code warrants monitoring only if your firm pursues theatrical, commercial, or facility-scale lighting infrastructure rather than individual optical or task-lighting products.
