UNSPSC 42142926: Eyeglass microscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a microscope attachment to a product for the product that uses a single lens to correct flawed vision in a human. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903180.

UNSPSC 42142926 Eyeglass microscopes (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The most recent solicitation tagged to this code is the Texas Office of the Attorney General's October 2026 IFB for FY27 Tactical Apparel, which requests bids on sunglasses (tactical eyewear with ballistic and specialized lens compliance), gloves, jackets, wallets, and badge holders for Criminal Investigation Division Officers. The same issuing body posted a companion notice for the same solicitation. A third opportunity—Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide—also carries this code tag but addresses a broad cooperative purchasing framework for law enforcement equipment without specifying eyeglass microscopes or eyewear components in available documentation. The code does not reflect recent procurement activity in its intended product category; state and local governments do not appear to be actively sourcing optical microscopes under this designation currently.

The geographic spread of the few opportunities tagged to this code centers on Texas (the Attorney General's tactical apparel bids) and a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle anchored in Minnesota and Washington. The tactical apparel IFB requires submission through the Bonfire platform by October 15, 2026, with vendors required to acknowledge Addendum 1 and provide delivery schedules calculated from receipt of order. The Sourcewell RFP, due June 16, 2026 (now past), was submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal and targeted thousands of participating governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada. Neither opportunity represents demand for the code's stated commodity; procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify issuing-body tagging or confirm whether genuine state and local demand for eyeglass microscopes exists outside these misaligned postings.
