UNSPSC 41115307: Lasers

UNSPSC 41115307 Lasers (Commodity) covers specialized optical instruments that state and local law-enforcement and forensic laboratories procure for evidence documentation and crime-scene investigation work. The Texas Department of Public Safety's recent Invitation for Bids for investigation laser systems — specifically dual-wavelength units (532nm and 445nm) with carrying cases, safety goggles, filters, and chargers — exemplifies the concrete scope: equipment designed to visualize and photograph trace evidence at crime scenes and in laboratory settings. State and local law-enforcement agencies and forensic service units are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with procurement driven by operational needs in evidence processing and investigative capability.

The Texas Department of Public Safety posted IFB No. 405-26R0007119 in May 2026 with an April 23, 2026 response deadline for four dual-wavelength investigation laser units distributed across three Crime Lab Division locations (Austin, Garland, and Lubbock). The solicitation required compliance with Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting goals, with emphasis on Veteran Heroes United in Business (VetHUB) participation, and mandated background-check compliance and extensive certifications covering child support, debarment, equal employment opportunity, and foreign-adversary restrictions. Bidders must submit pricing on a mandatory format with all costs including delivery rolled into the extended price, and the contract carries a one-year term with no renewal options. The source does not disclose a published award value or budget range.
