UNSPSC 42131723: Surgical cooling vest

Vest that continuously cools surgeon, not related to surgical isolation suit.

UNSPSC 42131723 Surgical cooling vest (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being procured by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span full-body scanner systems for detention facilities, protective fire clothing and accessories, bunker gear cleaning and maintenance, miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for state-supported living centers, safety and non-safety uniforms for city departments, naloxone and drug deactivation systems, full-line medical supply distribution, hip boots and rain suits, and water rescue equipment and uniforms. None of these solicitations specifically concern surgical cooling vests. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across a diverse set of purchases that fall into protective equipment, general medical supplies, and uniform procurement rather than thermal medical devices. State and local buyers include county detention facilities (Collin County, Texas), fire departments and rescue services (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida; Owensboro, Kentucky; Sarasota County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Minnesota Department of Administration), and city procurement departments (Phoenix, Dallas, Sarasota County Fire-EMS, City of Owensboro).

Recent activity spans Texas (Collin County RFP 2026-155 for full-body scanners due September 17, 2026; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical supplies due August 19, 2026), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government RFB 27-0007 for protective fire clothing due October 14, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County ITB 26-00380 for bunker gear cleaning and maintenance due September 10, 2026; Seminole County procurement for naloxone and drug deactivation systems), Arizona (City of Phoenix IFB 25-0771 for uniforms due July 28, 2025), Kentucky (City of Owensboro RFB 4473 for fire department uniforms due May 22, 2026), and multigovernmental cooperative vehicles (Minnesota MMCAP RFP 37259 for medical supplies due July 20, 2026). The code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to the actual procurements being conducted, making it unsuitable for business development targeting in its present classification.
