UNSPSC 45112004: Microfiche reader printer components or accessories

UNSPSC 45112004 Microfiche reader printer components or accessories (Commodity) encompasses specialized equipment and services for converting legacy microfilm and microfiche records into digital formats, as well as related supplies and peripherals that state and local governments procure to manage paper and electronic records operations. Recent solicitations show demand centered on production-grade microfilm scanner equipment for law enforcement records bureaus and general records management divisions, alongside peripheral supplies such as ink and toner. Issuing bodies across the code include county governments (Hillsborough County, Salt Lake County), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Manatee County Schools), and municipalities (City of Madison). The geographic spread includes Florida, Utah, Texas, and Wisconsin, with activity concentrated among mid-sized counties and large school districts managing high-volume digitization projects or routine records operations.

Representative recent opportunities include Salt Lake County's Notice of Proposed Sole Source Procurement (REC130929) posted May 5, 2026, seeking a FlexScan Microfilm Scanner/Digitizer from NextScan at an estimated contract value of $79,402.00 to digitize legacy microfilm and microfiche records and standardize equipment across county agencies; and Hillsborough County's Intent to Single Source (26X01362) posted June 30, 2026, for a Crowley Company UScan+ Advanced series production microfiche scanner for the Sheriff's Office Records Bureau, with comments due July 6, 2026.

Sole-source and single-source designations predominate in the scanner equipment procurements, reflecting the specialized and proprietary nature of digitization technology; competitive quotations and RFPs dominate supplies and services categories.
