System and accessories that are mechanical and/or interfaced to be utlized with a microscope or multiple microscopes for manipulation of samples being observed

UNSPSC 41111760 Microscope sample manipulation system and accessories is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure forensic comparison microscopes, FTIR microscopy systems for chemical analysis and micro-sampling, and general-purpose laboratory microscopes together with integrated accessories, camera systems, stages, objectives, illumination components, and software. The work spans equipment procurement for forensic science divisions, university research laboratories, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple state and local agencies. Issuing bodies include state law enforcement agencies (Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services), state procurement offices operating cooperative purchasing networks (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network), university procurement services, and state and local educational institutions. The Illinois State Police has solicited under this code multiple times within the recent window, indicating repeat demand from that customer.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Texas, with secondary activity in Mississippi. The Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services posted an IFB for dual-unit optically matched forensic comparison microscopes (Leica FS M or LEEDS LCF 2 equivalent) with 4x to 40x magnification, 4K resolution cameras, and delivery to six forensic science facilities across the state, due September 18, 2026. A prior Illinois State Police IFB for comparison microscopes was due June 18, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued an indefinite-quantity cooperative purchasing agreement (Requisition 304T-27-490M2) for microscopes and accessories available to multiple Texas state and local agencies, with proposals due September 1, 2026. Texas Tech University solicited research and development goods and services including microscope equipment under RFP 2026-1190, due April 30, 2026. The University of Mississippi Office of Procurement Services requested sealed bids for an FTIR Microscope Micro-sampling and Chemical Imaging System, due June 18, 2026.
