UNSPSC 42142927: Eyeglass telescopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a telescope 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 901811.

UNSPSC 42142927 Eyeglass telescopes is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure optical equipment, though recent solicitation activity suggests the code captures a broader range of eyewear and vision-correction products than the name implies. Based on recent opportunities, the code encompasses tactical and law enforcement eyewear — sunglasses with ballistic protection, specialized lenses, and interchangeable components that meet military performance standards. The issuing bodies include state attorneys general offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving law enforcement agencies across multiple jurisdictions. The Texas Office of the Attorney General is a repeat buyer in this space, soliciting tactical apparel bundles that include eyewear components alongside gloves, jackets, and badge holders for Criminal Investigation Division officers.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. The Texas Office of the Attorney General posted IFB 302-27-254341 on October 1, 2026, for FY27 tactical apparel (including Matte Black Ballistic Shocktube Sunglasses with interchangeable lenses compliant with MIL PRF 32432), with responses due October 15, 2026, and a Texas product preference applying to evaluation. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington state counties and thousands of public agencies nationwide, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Both solicitations emphasize submission through dedicated procurement platforms (Bonfire for Texas OAG; Sourcewell Procurement Portal for Sourcewell) and require vendor registration to access full specifications and submit responses. The code shows sparse recent direct activity under its nominal name; the opportunities tagged to it are materially about tactical apparel bundles and law enforcement equipment, suggesting potential misclassification or a broader operational use of the code than the commodity name alone suggests.
