UNSPSC 42142928 Eyeglass magnifiers is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are the Texas Office of the Attorney General's IFB for FY27 Tactical Apparel (due October 15, 2026), which includes tactical sunglasses with specialized lenses (Oakley Holbrook matte black with grey Prizm lenses and ballistic Shocktube models), and Sourcewell's RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple participating entities including Washington state counties. These solicitations do not seek eyeglass magnifiers in the conventional sense — reading magnifiers, prismatic magnifiers, or lens-mounted magnification devices. The tactical sunglasses specified are protective eyewear with optical coatings and ballistic compliance (MIL PRF 32432), not magnification products. The code appears to have been applied to these law enforcement and tactical apparel solicitations despite a fundamental mismatch with its nominal commodity scope.

The geographic spread reflects Texas and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell (Minnesota local government unit administering on behalf of Washington state counties and broader public sector participation). Vendors responding to the Texas IFB must acknowledge Addendum 1, meet Texas product and service preferences, and verify registration on the Centralized Master Bidders List; they must also carry Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, comply with E-Verify requirements, and submit pricing through the Bonfire platform. The Sourcewell RFP accepts submissions through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal exclusively and establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle for use by thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. This code does not reflect active demand for traditional eyeglass magnification products in state and local procurement.
