Recent solicitations show this code captures prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services delivered to state facilities, county employees, and institutionalized populations rather than standalone eyeglass guards in isolation. Issuing bodies include state health agencies, university health systems, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving law enforcement and public safety functions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Harris County, and the County of San Mateo have all posted opportunities in this commodity family within the past four months, indicating active demand across institutional and employee-serving programs.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017589) due July 15, 2026 for prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services for Mexia State Supported Living Center, with historical annual spending of $48,370.65 and unit pricing between $50.00 and $2,000.00 per item.
