UNSPSC 45121809: Microfilm film supplies

UNSPSC 45121809 Microfilm film supplies is a Commodity code representing equipment and materials for converting legacy microfilm and microfiche records into digital formats. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects the ongoing transition from analog record storage to digital archives, with government agencies acquiring specialized scanning equipment and associated supplies to support records management operations. Issuing bodies include county procurement offices and their subordinate divisions; Salt Lake County's Division of Contracts and Procurement has posted recent sole-source acquisitions in this space, signaling continued demand from larger jurisdictions with substantial legacy microfilm collections and a need for standardized digitization infrastructure across multiple departments.

Salt Lake County, Utah has shown recent activity under this code. In May 2026, Salt Lake County's Division of Contracts and Procurement issued a sole-source notice (REC130929NEXTSCANMICROFILMSCANNERSOLESOURCE) for purchase of a FlexScan Microfilm Scanner/Digitizer from NextScan, with a comment deadline of May 11, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $79,402.00. The procurement targets conversion of Parks and Recreation microfilm and paper records into digital formats compatible with the county's When to Work software, with equipment ultimately transferring to the Records Management division. The county's market research determined NextScan was the sole viable supplier for the specialized digitization capabilities required. Beyond this single recent opportunity, the source provides no additional state or local solicitations under this code, and no geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the available data.
