UNSPSC 41112213: Handheld thermometer

UNSPSC 41112213 Handheld thermometer is a Commodity code covering portable temperature-measurement devices purchased by state and local jurisdictions for health and safety operations. Recent solicitations show handheld thermometers acquired as part of broader first aid and medical supply contracts, particularly for school districts and law enforcement agencies. State and local buyers procure these instruments to support occupational health screening, emergency medical response, and facility-based health monitoring; they typically appear in larger procurement vehicles alongside related consumables such as bandages, gauze, gloves, and exam supplies rather than as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments, and cooperative purchasing entities managing agreements on behalf of multiple jurisdictions.

The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued ITB #25-CR-069 for first aid supplies in April 2026 with a due date of November 20, 2025, specifying thermometers as one of 34 line items within an approximately $130,000 annual usage contract covering the Walter Pownall Service Center Warehouse in Largo, Florida. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and other jurisdictions nationwide, with response deadline June 16, 2026; this cooperative vehicle may include thermometers within broader law enforcement equipment frameworks. Recent activity centers on school districts and regional cooperatives in the South and Pacific Northwest, with thermometers appearing as components within larger medical and tactical equipment procurement vehicles rather than as standalone purchases.
