UNSPSC 41111764: Microscope fitting

Any replacement screw, clamp, adapter or other fitting utilized on microscope

UNSPSC 41111764 Microscope fitting, a Commodity code, covers professional-grade forensic comparison microscopes, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared) microscope systems, and ancillary laboratory microscope equipment and accessories procured by state and local agencies. State police forensic laboratories and universities constitute the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, with forensic comparison microscope systems dominating recent activity. Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services has posted two separate IFBs for dual-unit optically matched comparison microscopes with 4K resolution, split-field comparison capability, magnification ranges of 4x to 40x, and stages accommodating fired bullets, cartridge cases, and irregular forensic objects. Equipment specifications frequently reference Leica FS M and LEEDS LCF models as baselines or approved equivalents, with authorized dealers and licensed installers required to deliver, install, and provide training across multiple forensic laboratory facilities. Contracts typically include initial three-year terms with renewal options extending to ten years. Accessories, mounts, adapters, power supplies, and optional dual-view observation stations are bundled into line-item pricing. General commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million annual aggregate is standard.

Activity appears concentrated in Illinois and Texas, with secondary academic procurement in Mississippi. The Illinois State Police issued IFB 26-493ISP-FOREN-B-51686 with a June 18, 2026 deadline and IFB 27-493ISP-ADMIN-B-53673 with a September 18, 2026 deadline, both seeking comparison microscopes for forensic science facilities across six Illinois State Police locations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted Requisition 304T-27-490M2 as an indefinite-quantity, requirements-type cooperative purchasing vehicle through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) due September 1, 2026, enabling multiple state and local agencies to access pre-negotiated pricing for microscope equipment and accessories. Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1190 for research and development goods and services including microscope equipment, due April 30, 2026. The University of Mississippi posted a sealed bid for an FTIR Microscope Micro-sampling and Chemical Imaging System due June 18, 2026. U.S. manufacturing preferences apply where documented; Illinois contracts require compliance with prompt payment and disclosure rules for subcontractors exceeding specified thresholds.
