UNSPSC 42142916 Ophthalmic lens gauges is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a Texas Office of the Attorney General IFB for tactical apparel (sunglasses, gloves, jackets, wallets, and badge holders) due October 15, 2026, a Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment available to multiple Washington state counties and public entities, and an earlier May 2026 Sourcewell posting. The tactical apparel solicitation includes reference specifications for matte black sunglasses with grey Prizm lenses and ballistic Shocktube sunglasses with interchangeable lenses compliant with MIL PRF 32432, but does not explicitly reference lens gauges or optical measurement tools. The code's posting history suggests it is being used as a catchall tag for law enforcement optical and tactical equipment procurement rather than for the precision optical-measurement instruments the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread covers Texas and a multistate cooperative procurement vehicle anchored in Minnesota with participating entities across Washington state and broader U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include the Texas Office of the Attorney General (Criminal Investigation Division equipment) and Sourcewell acting as the cooperative purchasing administrator on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, plus additional participating public entities nationwide. The Texas IFB requires delivery schedule commitment (time to receipt of order), proof of insurance with $1 million per-occurrence and $2 million aggregate limits, E-Verify compliance, and acknowledgment of Addendum 1 issued October 1, 2026. Vendors should verify registration on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Centralized Master Bidders List and note that Texas product and service preference applies to bid evaluation on the Attorney General solicitation.
