UNSPSC 41111746: Optical lever

Equipment that measures the change volume of finite angle by using the light reflection of mirror.

UNSPSC 41111746 Optical lever, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code describe forensic comparison microscopes, general-purpose laboratory microscopes, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared) microscopy systems, and research-grade microscope equipment — none of which are optical levers, a distinct precision instrument used for measurement and sensing applications. The mismatch suggests tagging error rather than true market activity for optical levers in state and local procurement.

State and local activity under this code appears limited and misdirected. The Illinois State Police posted two comparison-microscope IFBs (response dates June 18, 2026, and September 18, 2026), the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts released a cooperative purchasing vehicle for microscopes and accessories (response due September 1, 2026), the University of Mississippi solicited an FTIR microscopy system via sealed bid (June 18, 2026), and Texas Tech University issued an RFP for research and development goods and services including microscope equipment (proposal deadline April 30, 2026). Illinois and Texas show the most recent activity. Because these solicitations address microscope equipment rather than optical levers, procurement professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC taxonomy being applied in specific opportunities before committing pursuit effort to this code; the current tagging appears to be a categorization error rather than an indicator of state and local demand for optical-lever products or services.
