UNSPSC 42142917 Electronic vision aids is a Commodity code covering tactical eyewear and protective vision equipment procured by state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies. The work involves sourcing ballistic-rated sunglasses, safety glasses, and similar vision-protection products that meet military or law enforcement specifications, often with requirements for interchangeable lenses, glare reduction, or impact resistance. State and local buyers under this code include state attorneys general offices, county sheriff departments, and regional law enforcement cooperatives, which source these items through IFBs and RFPs as part of broader tactical apparel and equipment packages.

Texas and the Upper Midwest show recent activity under the code. The Texas Office of the Attorney General issued IFB 302-27-254341 for FY27 Tactical Apparel, due October 15, 2026, which includes Matte Black Ballistic Shocktube Sunglasses with interchangeable lenses compliant with MIL PRF 32432 alongside other tactical gear; vendors may propose alternative brands meeting or exceeding specified standards, and a Texas product and service preference applies. Sourcewell, a Minnesota service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment effective through June 16, 2026, with participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, alongside thousands of other governmental agencies nationwide, establishing a framework contract for law enforcement equipment available to multiple jurisdictions. Both opportunities require vendor registration through online procurement portals (Bonfire for Texas OAG; Sourcewell's Procurement Portal for the cooperative) and compliance with E-Verify, insurance, and documentation retention standards.
