UNSPSC 42000000 Medical Equipment and Accessories and Supplies is a Segment code spanning a broad range of diagnostic imaging systems, patient-care consumables, mobility aids, and clinical-support equipment that state and local governments procure for hospitals, correctional facilities, school districts, and public health programs. State and local buyers use this code for acquisitions ranging from mobile CT scanners and digital radiography systems to oxygen concentrators, automated medication dispensing cabinets, AEDs, dental laboratory services, and therapeutic supplies—reflecting the wide variety of medical goods and services that support direct patient care, emergency response, and public health operations across multiple jurisdictions and institution types.

Recent activity concentrates among state agencies, county health systems, school districts, and state university research facilities. Oklahoma State University's RFP for a mobile CT scanner for its veterinary teaching hospital (due October 23, 2026) and the Utah Department of Health and Human Services' RFP for oxygen concentrator rentals statewide serving Medicaid members (due November 9, 2026) exemplify large-scale healthcare procurement. County health agencies—particularly Orange County, California—have posted multiple solicitations including automated medication dispensing systems for correctional facilities (RFP-042-2977903-TR, due September 11, 2026) and a digital radiography system for a public health clinic (IFB-042-3064702-TF, due September 18, 2026), using both RFP and IFB notice types with preference programs for local small businesses and disabled veteran enterprises. The State of Utah, Idaho, and Connecticut routinely solicit under this code; Utah is pursuing mobile MRI and CT services at a state correctional facility (due July 31, 2026) and dental laboratory services (RFP MK26-29, due July 31, 2026), while Idaho leads a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative procurement for medical supplies and equipment (due November 9, 2026) with multistate participation. School districts, particularly in Michigan and Utah, solicit AED equipment and maintenance services. Activity is distributed across multiple states with notable concentration in the West (Utah, Idaho, Colorado), California (Orange County and San Mateo County), and the Northeast (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania), and includes university research facilities acquiring laboratory instrumentation. Geographic spread reflects healthcare infrastructure density and state procurement maturity rather than regional clustering.
