UNSPSC 41111730: Microscope condensers

UNSPSC 41111730 Microscope condensers, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local activity directly tied to microscope optics components; instead, recent solicitations under this code reflect broader microscopy equipment and support service procurement. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring complete microscope systems, atomic force microscopes for research, microscopy accessories, and training services supporting laboratory operations in public health and higher education. The issuing bodies are research universities (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and county-level agencies managing public health or water resources laboratories (Santa Clara County, Hillsborough County).

Activity concentrates in Wisconsin and Florida, with one solicitation from California. Representative recent opportunities include the University of Wisconsin-Madison RFB for an Atomic Force Microscope (posted March 16, 2026, response due March 27, 2026) and a separate Wisconsin RFB for microscopes, accessories, and maintenance services (posted March 12, 2026, response due April 3, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITQ for Motic Trinocular Microscope Training services valued at $21,000.00 (posted February 23, 2026, response due March 19, 2026), requiring DEP-approved, CEU-certified instruction in wastewater microbiology and microorganism identification delivered on-site in Tampa, Florida; and Santa Clara County issued an RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement (posted April 7, 2026, response due April 22, 2026). None of these solicitations explicitly name microscope condensers as a line-item acquisition, suggesting the code may not reflect actual purchasing behavior in this commodity family at the state and local level.
