UNSPSC 42132200: Medical gloves and accessories

This class includes gloves and glove-related accessories designed specifically for medical use.

UNSPSC 42132200 Medical gloves and accessories is a Class code. State and local governments purchase examination gloves, nitrile gloves, and related consumable medical supplies—often bundled with first aid or broader medical supply packages—for fire departments, emergency medical services, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, state hospitals, and general operational use. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions acquiring exam gloves in bulk for statewide distribution, foodservice-grade nitrile gloves for school districts, premium green nitrile gloves for correctional systems, and medical gloves as line items within larger first aid or medical supply contracts. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Washington Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Central Management Services), school districts (Granite School District, Utah; Pinellas County Schools, Florida), county government (Henry County, Georgia), municipal government (City of Dallas, Texas), and multi-state cooperative purchasing consortia (Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint). Fire departments and correctional agencies appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Utah, Washington, and Illinois, with cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell) extending reach across multiple jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-27-345A2 for Personal Protective Equipment and First Aid Components (responses due October 6, 2026) covering 21 line items of hospital-grade gloves, bandages, and respirator components for statewide delivery to the Texas Department of Public Safety; the Illinois Department of Central Management Services SBSA IFB 27416CMSBOSS4B51697 for exam and disposable gloves (bids due June 25, 2026) restricted to small business vendors with an initial five-year term and $100 minimum order; the Pinellas County Schools ITB 25-CR-069 for first aid supplies including exam gloves with estimated annual usage of $130,000 (bid submission deadline November 20, 2025); and the Granite School District IFB JB27-300 for foodservice nitrile gloves (bids due July 17, 2026) with federal funding and four optional one-year renewals. Cooperative purchasing vehicles now dominate the market, with NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (due November 9, 2026) and Sourcewell RFP 061626 creating statewide or multi-state framework contracts for medical supplies including gloves.
