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

UNSPSC 41111764 Microscope fitting, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of microscopy equipment and related accessories by state and local governments, including complete microscope systems, optical components, and ancillary fittings used in research, forensic analysis, and educational laboratory settings. Recent solicitations reveal state and local buyers acquiring FTIR microscope micro-sampling systems, comparison microscopes for forensic laboratories, trinocular microscopes for wastewater microbiology training, enhanced darkfield optical microscope systems, and general-purpose microscopy equipment bundles with maintenance services. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily higher-education institutions—universities and research centers—and specialized state forensic laboratories. The University of Mississippi, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas Tech University, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, and the Illinois State Police represent the issuing-body mix, with universities dominating recent activity; one county water resources department (Hillsborough County, Florida) has also appeared as a buyer, seeking microscope-based training services.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Florida.
