UNSPSC 41111763: Microscope cleaning kit

Cleaning kit utilized for preventive maintenance of microscopes

UNSPSC 41111763 Microscope cleaning kit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure microscopy equipment, accessories, and related services—ranging from specialized laboratory instruments such as FTIR microscopes and comparison microscopes for forensic analysis to training and maintenance support. The recent solicitations show that universities, state law enforcement agencies, and county water utilities are the primary buyers. The University of Mississippi sought an FTIR Microscope Micro-sampling and Chemical Imaging System; the Illinois State Police requested comparison microscopes configured with standardized specifications across multiple forensic laboratories; Texas Tech University issued an RFP for research and development laboratory equipment including microscope systems; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison solicited microscopes, accessories, and maintenance services. The work spans equipment procurement, installation, training, maintenance contracts, and ancillary services such as dust covers, motorized workbenches, specialized objectives, and camera systems with technical performance requirements and insurance mandates.

Activity is concentrated in academic institutions and state-level law enforcement across Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Florida. Recent opportunities include the University of Mississippi's sealed-bid process for FTIR microscope equipment (response due June 18, 2026), the Illinois State Police's IFB for comparison microscopes with delivery and training across eight forensic laboratories statewide and a maximum ten-year contract term (response due June 18, 2026), Texas Tech University's RFP for research and development goods and services evaluated on best-value criteria with a 24-month firm pricing period (response due April 30, 2026), the University of Wisconsin-Madison's competitive bid for microscopes and maintenance through ShopUW+ (response due March 26, 2026), Texas A&M AgriLife Research's ITB for an Enhanced Darkfield Optical Microscope System (response due February 5, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' competitive quote for Motic Trinocular Microscope training with an estimated value of $21,000.00 structured as two four-day sessions with CEU certification (response due March 19, 2026).
