UNSPSC 42142914 Contact lens cleaning or moisturizing solutions is a Commodity code that captures lens-care products state and local governments procure for optical dispensing operations and employee health benefits. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county health departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. The scope of work encompasses contact lens solutions used in retail optical settings, employee vision-care programs, and health-benefit disbursements.

Recent activity shows limited direct opportunities tagged to this specific Commodity code. Harris County issued RFO KJ09102026 (posted September 11, 2026; due October 2, 2026) for optical retail and dispensing services, which would encompass lens-care supplies as an input to the broader optical operations being requested. A separate cooperative purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell (a State of Minnesota local government unit) for law enforcement equipment (Solicitation 061626, due June 16, 2026) does not align with the contact-lens-solutions scope and appears to be a classification mismatch in the source data. Geographic activity is sparse in the recent record, with the Harris County opportunity in Texas representing the clearest lens-care-adjacent solicitation. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor optical dispensing and health-benefits RFPs from county health systems and school districts, as those issuing bodies typically embed lens-solution procurement within broader vision-care or employee-benefits contracts rather than posting standalone product solicitations.
