UNSPSC 42142915: Contact lens maintenance kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a kit that contains the means to maintain a product that uses a thin plastic lens placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct visual defects in a human. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42142915 Contact lens maintenance kits is a Commodity code that encompasses cleaning solutions, storage cases, enzyme tablets, and related supplies used to maintain contact lenses. State and local governments procure these kits primarily through optical retail and dispensing service contracts, often bundled with broader vision-care operations rather than as standalone product purchases. The issuing bodies under this code include county health departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show that contact lens maintenance kits are typically sourced as part of comprehensive optical service agreements rather than discrete commodity buys.

Harris County posted RFO KJ09102026 on September 11, 2026, seeking offers for optical retail and dispensing services with a response deadline of October 2, 2026; this solicitation encompasses optical operations where maintenance kits would be supplied as ancillary materials. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Washington and multiple other states—this opportunity does not align with contact lens maintenance kit procurement and appears mistagged under the code. The recent activity suggests limited direct procurement volume for contact lens maintenance kits as discrete line items; most acquisitions occur within broader optical service contracts managed by county health systems and vision-care providers.
