UNSPSC 42142921 Eyeglass fitting and adjustment set cases, a Commodity code, frames a narrow product category that state and local governments procure far more broadly as part of comprehensive eyewear programs. Recent solicitations show that state agencies, universities, counties, and correctional systems are buying prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, fitting services, and related optical supplies — often bundled with repair, warranty, and program management services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and the County of San Mateo are all active buyers, sourcing eyewear for state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, and municipal employees. The work includes fitting and adjustment labor, delivery of frames and lenses within defined windows (typically 10–15 business days), and compliance with specifications such as ANSI Z87.1-2020 for safety applications. Unit pricing structures dominate, with line-item bids for specific frame models, lens types (single vision, bifocal, progressive, polycarbonate, tinted), and related components. Vendors must often meet geographic delivery constraints, hold appropriate licenses and certifications, and comply with state business registry and HUB subcontracting requirements where applicable.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017589 for Mexia State Supported Living Center eyeglasses on June 30, 2026, due July 15, 2026, with historical spending of $48,370.65 over twelve months and unit prices ranging $50.00–$2,000.00 per item. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center issued IFB 739-SL3809803 for optical supplies serving 19 Department of Criminal Justice prison facilities on June 29, 2026, due July 17, 2026, requiring a HUB Subcontracting Plan and per-unit pricing on 15 specified line items. The County of San Mateo released an Informal RFP for a comprehensive prescription safety glasses program on May 12, 2026, due January 2, 2026, covering multiple county facilities with a five-year contract term and local business preferences under county ordinance. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) was also tagged to this code but appears unrelated to eyewear; the code shows limited recent activity outside prescription eyewear and optical supplies procurement in Texas and California.
