UNSPSC 42142916 Ophthalmic lens gauges is a Commodity code that does not reflect the law enforcement equipment and supplies actually being solicited under it in recent state and local activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626—seeks law enforcement equipment broadly, not ophthalmic instruments, indicating a misalignment between the code designation and procurement intent. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government cooperative, issued the RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus other jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada. The resulting contracts will be available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities through a participating addendum structure. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time; no bid documents are available through other channels. Questions should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.

The geographic reach of this cooperative extends across Washington state (named participating counties) and nationally, with scope spanning the United States and Canada. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity—one solicitation posted—and that opportunity appears to be tagged incorrectly, as law enforcement equipment procurement does not align with ophthalmic lens gauges. This mismatch suggests the code may see limited state and local purchasing activity for its stated commodity, or that recent tagged opportunities do not reflect the actual nature of the work.
