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, a Commodity code, covers forensic comparison microscopes, FTIR chemical imaging systems, and general laboratory microscope equipment that state and local governments procure for crime-scene analysis, university research, and forensic science operations. Recent solicitations show state police agencies, universities, and cooperative purchasing networks buying dual-unit comparison microscopes with 4K imaging, motorized stages, matched optical systems, and ancillary equipment such as dust covers, objectives, eyepieces, and camera systems. Delivery, installation, training, and technical support are bundled into vendor scope. Authorized resellers and licensed installers dominate the bidding pool; single awards typically go to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder, with initial contract terms of three years and maximum durations reaching ten years including renewals. Insurance requirements are standard—$1 million general liability per occurrence with $2 million annual aggregate, $1 million auto liability, and statutory workers' compensation.

Illinois State Police drives the largest recent activity, posting two separate IFBs for comparison microscopes in June and September 2026, each requesting Leica FS M or LEEDS LCF equivalents across six to eight forensic laboratories statewide (Chicago, Rockford, Morton, Belleville, Joliet, Springfield). Texas appears as a secondary market, with the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts running a cooperative purchasing vehicle (TCPN) for microscopes and accessories available to multiple state and local agencies under Requisition 304T-27-490M2, due September 1, 2026, and Texas Tech University issuing RFP 2026-1190 for research-and-development microscope equipment with a best-value evaluation standard, proposals due April 30, 2026. The University of Mississippi solicited an FTIR microscope micro-sampling system (Bid File 1279) due June 18, 2026. The code shows meaningful recent activity concentrated in Illinois and Texas, with university procurement also represented.
