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 (Commodity) covers protective hand coverings manufactured without latex material for use in surgical and clinical settings. State and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent traction — the most-recent-opportunities block contains no direct solicitations for non-latex surgical gloves. The recent opportunities tagged to this code describe laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms (San Mateo County), surgical power instruments (San Mateo County), ventilator maintenance (Hillsborough County), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), intraosseous infusion systems (Marion County), career and technical education materials (Klein Independent School District), ultrasound imaging systems (Valencia College), and spinal implants (University of Texas Health Science Center). None of these solicitations align with the purchase of surgical gloves or hand protection products, indicating a classification mismatch between the code and the opportunities recorded under it.

The absence of substantive recent activity in the opportunities block suggests this code sees limited direct procurement activity in state and local markets at present, or that issuers are tagging medical supply contracts to broader or adjacent codes rather than this specific commodity. Vendors targeting non-latex surgical glove procurement should monitor broader commodity families covering medical consumables and personal protective equipment, or focus on cooperative purchasing agreements and hospital group purchasing organizations that may not appear in individual RFP postings.
