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 appears to see minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities in the recent record show a significant mismatch: Harris County issued an RFO for optical retail and dispensing services (a broader service offering that may incidentally involve contact lens cases but is not primarily about them), and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties and public entities across multiple states—a category entirely unrelated to contact lens cases. Neither solicitation targets contact lens cases as a primary procurement line item.

The Harris County optical retail and dispensing services RFO, due October 2, 2026, represents the only solicitation with even tangential relevance to the code's scope, though the source provides no detail on volume, service locations, contract value, or performance terms. The Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP, due June 16, 2026, reflects a cooperative purchasing structure serving participating entities across Washington state and beyond but contains no connection to optical or contact lens products. Geographic activity is limited to Texas (Harris County) and the Sourcewell cooperative covering Washington and multi-state jurisdictions, with no evidence of widespread pursuit of contact lens cases across state and local procurement channels. The code shows little actionable recent opportunity volume for business development focus.
