UNSPSC 42142932 Eyeglass frame straps is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of eyewear components and optical dispensing services, though recent solicitations show activity concentrated heavily in eyeglass frames, lenses, and complete optical retail operations rather than straps alone. State and local buyers under this code include county health authorities, state health and human services departments, university health systems, correctional facility operators, and county employee benefits programs. The scope of work ranges from bulk purchase of optical supplies—plastic and bifocal lenses, metal and flexible frames, adjustable nosepieces, temples, and fitting services—to comprehensive optical retail and dispensing operations supporting inmate, patient, and employee populations. Harris County has solicited optical retail and dispensing services (RFO KJ09102026, due October 2, 2026), while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017589, due July 15, 2026), with historical spending of $48,370.65 over the prior fiscal year.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center issuing an IFB for optical supplies to serve 19 Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison facilities across West Texas (IFB 739-SL3809803, due July 17, 2026), and the County of San Mateo conducting an informal RFP for a comprehensive prescription safety glasses program for county employees (RFP 2026RFPINFORMAL00219, due January 2, 2026, subsequently overdue). A Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) includes eyewear components but does not isolate optical supplies as a primary category. The Texas Tech solicitation required per-unit pricing for Titmus eyeglass frames in specified models, plastic lenses in multiple configurations, detachable sideshields, screws, and slab-off services, with delivery within 10–15 days and a HUB Subcontracting Plan required if expenditures exceed $100,000. San Mateo County's safety glasses program sought vendors with three years of eyewear services experience and prior work with California public entities of 5,000+ employees, offering a five-year contract term with local business and small-business preferences under county ordinance.
