UNSPSC 42142910: Contact lens cases

In this classification, this commodity indicates the storage case for a product that uses a thin plastic lens placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct visual defects in a human. US FDA regulates Contact lens cases under 21 CFR 886.5928 and under FDA product code LRX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900311.

UNSPSC 42142910 Contact lens cases is a Commodity code that captures eye-care accessories procured through state and local purchasing vehicles, though recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse. The single recent opportunity on file — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) — does not reflect typical contact lens case procurement; the opportunity is tagged with this code but solicits broad law enforcement equipment for thousands of participating entities across the United States and Canada, suggesting a metadata mismatch rather than genuine demand for contact lens cases in that solicitation. State and local governments do acquire contact lens cases through their supply chains, often for employee or inmate health services, occupational health programs, or emergency medical stock, but the recent solicitation block provides no concrete examples of such purchases.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit, is the only issuing body represented in recent activity, advertising the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. Geographic concentration cannot be inferred from this single opportunity because the scope spans multiple states and includes cooperative participation across the country. Vendors interested in this code should monitor Sourcewell's procurement portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov for future solicitations; questions may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The limited recent activity in contact lens cases suggests either low baseline demand under this specific code or that state and local agencies procure these items through higher-level family or class codes, general medical supply contracts, or vendor-direct relationships outside formal solicitation.
