UNSPSC 42132202 Finger cots (Commodity) covers single-digit protective sheaths for fingers, but recent state and local activity shows the code applied broadly to first aid and medical supply procurement at the component level rather than as a standalone line item. State and local governments buy finger cots as part of larger medical supply aggregations alongside bandages, gauze, exam gloves, and other consumables for emergency response, healthcare facilities, and general institutional use. Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions, county and city health departments, fire departments, school districts, and state-agency cooperative purchasing consortia. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, Washington State Department of Transportation, State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services, Henry County Georgia, and the School Board of Pinellas County Florida appear as repeat buyers or high-volume purchasers under related commodity codes in the same family. Activity spans multiple issuing body types: state health and human services departments, state criminal justice agencies, county purchasing offices, municipal fire departments, and school district procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Washington, Illinois, and Idaho. Representative 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 including bandages, gauze, and hospital-grade gloves for statewide delivery with an initial term through November 30, 2027 and four renewal options; the NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 sponsored by Idaho state agencies (responses due November 9, 2026) for medical supplies across multiple product categories through the cooperative purchasing consortium; and the School Board of Pinellas County Florida ITB 25-CR-069 for first aid supplies (responses due November 20, 2025) covering 34 line items including alcohol prep pads, bandages, and gauze sponges for approximately $130,000 annual usage. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services issued IFB for exam and disposable gloves as a Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) contract (bids due June 25, 2026) with a five-year initial term and FDA-approved manufacturing requirements. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and statewide master agreements dominate the higher-volume opportunities.
