UNSPSC 42132207: Non-latex surgical gloves

In this classification, this commodity indicates a Surgical Glove that is made with NON-Latex materials (i.e., neoprene, polyisoprene, or a blend) that provides prevention of contamination of the patient during invasive procedures and to protect the hand from exposure to potentially infectious materials during surgical procedures.

UNSPSC 42132207 Non-latex surgical gloves is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations for the product itself. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code are instead for ultrasound systems (Valencia College), laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo Medical Center), surgical power instruments (San Mateo Medical Center), ventilator maintenance services (Hillsborough County), and law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other participating entities). A sixth opportunity lists intraosseous infusion devices (Marion County, Florida). None of these solicitations involve non-latex surgical gloves or any consumable personal protective equipment; they span diagnostic imaging, surgical equipment, medical device maintenance, and law enforcement supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities when tagging them in their systems. Without recent opportunities for non-latex surgical gloves under this code, readers cannot identify issuing-body concentration, geographic spread of actual glove procurement, or representative active solicitations for the commodity itself. The taxonomy mismatch suggests this code may not be a reliable predictor of glove buying activity in current state and local markets.
