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 is a Commodity code covering supplies and equipment used in micrographic operations, including developer solutions, archival storage materials, and scanning hardware for records management and preservation. State and local governments procure under this code to maintain and operate microfilm and microfiche systems that store historical records, law enforcement documentation, and government archives. The Illinois Secretary of State and Hillsborough County sheriff's office are among recent buyers, representing state archives and law enforcement records bureaus that depend on micrographic infrastructure to manage large volumes of physical and digitized documents.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Midwest and Southeast. The Illinois Secretary of State issued an RFQ in September 2026 for micrographic supplies—developer solution, acid-free storage boxes, and feed labels—with delivery required to the State Archives in Springfield by December 31, 2026. Hillsborough County issued an intent to single-source a production-grade microfiche scanner (Crowley Company UScan+ Advanced series) for the Sheriff's Office Records Bureau in June 2026, reflecting law enforcement reliance on specialized scanning equipment for records operations. Both solicitations indicate active demand for consumable supplies and capital equipment to support existing microfilm and microfiche workflows in government record-keeping operations.
