UNSPSC 45131507: Processed microfilm

A film which is used to take the photo on material or bibliographies in documents, drawings, and printed materials that are reduced to a very small and invisible size for preservation.

UNSPSC 45131507 Processed microfilm, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of production-grade microfilm and microfiche scanning equipment and related document processing services. Recent solicitations show a tight focus on law enforcement records management and document imaging infrastructure rather than microfilm media itself. The issuing bodies are typically county sheriff's offices and county government departments managing archival and records operations; these are specialized procurements that do not show high volume or frequency across state and local jurisdictions.

Activity is sparse and geographically scattered. Hillsborough County (Tampa area), Florida issued an intent to single-source a Crowley Company UScan+ Advanced series production microfiche scanner for the Sheriff's Office Records Bureau with a comment deadline of July 6, 2026; this is a sole-source procurement unlikely to create open-market competition. No other recent opportunities directly match the code's nominal scope — the County of Bucks, Pennsylvania posting tagged as microfilm contract is actually a broad RFP for forensic crime lab operations, and the City of Madison, Wisconsin posting is for general printing and mailing services. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity, and the one concrete opportunity (Hillsborough County) is a single-source award, meaning pursuit opportunities for competing vendors are limited to protesting the sole-source justification within the published comment window.
