The code's recent activity reflects procurement of matte black ballistic sunglasses with interchangeable lenses compliant with military performance standards (MIL PRF 32432), grey prizm or tinted lenses for enhanced visual acuity in operational conditions, and reference models such as Oakley Holbrook frames. State attorneys general, regional law enforcement cooperatives, and county sheriff's offices are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code, typically bundling eyewear with other tactical apparel (gloves, jackets, wallets, badge holders) in consolidated IFBs.

Both solicitations require vendors to meet or exceed reference brand specifications and deliver pricing schedules with lead times after receipt of order; the Texas IFB applies a state product preference in bid evaluation. Texas requires E-Verify compliance and $1 million per-occurrence liability insurance.
