UNSPSC 42183036 Ophthalmometer accessories (Commodity) covers optical instruments and related equipment that state and local governments procure for educational and laboratory functions. Recent activity under the code shows state procurement offices using cooperative purchasing vehicles to consolidate demand for microscopes, optical lenses, frames, and supplementary optical accessories across multiple end-user agencies. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and the State of Michigan are the recent issuing bodies, with Texas operating an indefinite-quantity, requirements-type cooperative agreement through the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Network (TCPN) that enables participating state and local agencies to access firm fixed-price unit costs. Respondents must meet mandatory certifications, insurance representations, and state-specific preferences (Texas-based vendor status, service-disabled veteran, environmentally sensitive products); warranty provisions are tied to line-item pricing in the price sheet and vendor accountability for repairs and replacements during the warranty period.

Texas shows the most recent solicitation activity under this code. The Texas Comptroller posted Solicitation 304T27490M2 for microscopes and accessories on August 5, 2026, with a September 1, 2026 response deadline through TCPN, establishing a cooperative purchasing vehicle that individual Texas state and local agencies can draw from independently. The State of Michigan issued a Notice of Intent for RFP 250000002612 regarding optical lenses and frames on July 27, 2026, though the complete scope, contract value, evaluation criteria, and timeline remain undisclosed in the source material and require direct access to Michigan's procurement system for full opportunity details.
