UNSPSC 41111750: Microscope anti vibration mat or table

Table or mat that is designed to protect microscopes, their components and clinical specimens for microscopic examination from external oscillations or vibrations

UNSPSC 41111750 Microscope anti vibration mat or table is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure microscopy equipment, accessories, and related laboratory systems to support research, forensic analysis, and educational operations at universities, state agencies, and county departments. Recent solicitations show that the code encompasses procurement of specialized microscopes—including FTIR microscope micro-sampling systems, comparison microscopes for forensic laboratories, darkfield optical microscope systems, and trinocular microscopes—along with associated accessories such as objectives, eyepieces, cameras, motorized workbenches, dust covers, and maintenance services. Issuing bodies include research universities (University of Mississippi, Texas Tech University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas A&M AgriLife Research), state forensic and law enforcement agencies (Illinois State Police), and county government departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). Universities dominate the recent activity, with at least four higher-education institutions soliciting microscopy equipment in the past four months.

Recent procurement activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest. The University of Mississippi posted an IFB for an FTIR microscope micro-sampling and chemical imaging system due June 18, 2026, while the Illinois State Police issued an IFB for comparison microscopes configured across eight forensic science laboratory locations with a three-year initial term and up to ten-year maximum contract duration, also due June 18, 2026. Texas Tech University issued an RFP for research and development goods and services including microscope equipment evaluated on best value criteria with proposals due April 30, 2026. The University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited microscopes, accessories, and maintenance services through a competitive bid due April 3, 2026. Texas A&M AgriLife Research sought an enhanced darkfield optical microscope system through an ITB due February 5, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida conducted a competitive quote for Motic trinocular microscope training services valued at $21,000 with a March 19, 2026 response deadline. Activity spans Texas, Illinois, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Florida, with particular concentration in academic research institutions seeking equipment to support laboratory and forensic operations.
