UNSPSC 45141607: Camera obscura

A type of temporary dark room in box shape that is used for developing the film or arrangement of film mainly in outdoor or indoor.

UNSPSC 45141607 Camera obscura is a Commodity code that encompasses optical imaging and observation equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on law enforcement equipment broadly defined rather than traditional camera obscura apparatus. State and local buyers under the code include counties, cities, school districts, and higher education institutions, typically procuring through cooperative purchasing vehicles and service cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is the primary issuing body visible in current activity, administering procurement frameworks that extend across thousands of governmental agencies, public entities, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada.
