UNSPSC 45112002: Microfiche reader printers

UNSPSC 45112002 Microfiche reader printers, a Commodity code, covers production-grade scanning and digitization equipment that state and local governments deploy to convert microfilm and microfiche archives into viewable and exportable digital formats. State and local agencies soliciting under this code are primarily law enforcement records bureaus and state archival institutions acquiring multi-format scanner systems capable of handling 16mm and 35mm microfilm and microfiche in both positive and negative formats, with output in standard image and text-searchable formats. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices and state library and archives commissions seeking to modernize records management and improve public access to historical documents and case files.
