UNSPSC 45121628: Camera lens filter

The filter serves to reduce light which is important when adjusting the diaphragm and the time to adjust the speed.

UNSPSC 45121628 Camera lens filter is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity spans Canon camera lenses, complete camera equipment kits, and photography accessories rather than filters alone. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include city procurement offices, state departments, and school districts. The City of Philadelphia has posted multiple technology-focused micro purchases through PHLContracts, including the Canon camera lens RFQ due October 2, 2026, with a contract ceiling of $45,000 through June 30, 2027 and firm fixed-price delivery FOB Destination. The Texas Department of Insurance procured Canon cameras and photography equipment under IFB No. 454-26-34801-CM due August 7, 2026, specifying nine line items including Canon EOS R6 MK III camera kits, RF lenses, flash units, batteries, memory cards, and protective cases totaling 20 camera units. The City of Philadelphia requires vendor compliance with $500,000 General Liability per occurrence coverage, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and submission of LGBTQ Applicant Data Forms; the TDI IFB mandates Authorized Reseller Letters and foreign adversaries certification. Philadelphia's solicitation allows award as a whole or by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with quotes valid for 60 days and payment by electronic deposit following City approval.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Pennsylvania, with Philadelphia as a repeat municipal buyer and the Texas Department of Insurance representing state-level procurement. The TDI IFB required questions by July 29, 2026, with responses issued August 3, 2026, and award anticipated August 11, 2026 or as soon thereafter as practical, with delivery no later than August 31, 2026. Philadelphia's micro purchase allows award as a whole or by line item, whichever serves the City's best interest, with no guarantee of volume; the City reserves the right to accept quotes from multiple sellers or reject all quotes. The code also appears in several unrelated recent solicitations—Parkway School District's LED lighting procurement, Cameron County's traffic signal improvements, and Philadelphia's podcast equipment RFQ—suggesting some tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
