UNSPSC 42132209: Non-nitrile exam or non-surgical gloves

In this classification, this commodity indicates a non-nitrile product that provides prevention of contamination of the patient during invasive procedures and to protect the hand from exposure to potentially infectious materials during medical examinations (could be made out of latex, vinyl, etc.).

UNSPSC 42132209 Non-nitrile exam or non-surgical gloves (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The five most recent opportunities in the source block describe medical equipment purchases—an ultrasound system, laser OR equipment, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance services, law enforcement equipment, and an intraosseous infusion device—none of which fall under exam or non-surgical gloves. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at issuing bodies or a data classification error upstream; the code shows no relevant recent activity grounded in actual glove procurement.

No recent state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB opportunities for non-nitrile exam or non-surgical gloves appear in the source block. Without evidence of current solicitation activity tied to this Commodity code, assessing issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or representative recent opportunities is not possible. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices in their target markets are actively tagging glove purchases under this UNSPSC classification, or consider whether the code itself is being bypassed in favor of cooperative purchasing vehicles or master supply schedules that may not generate discrete opportunity records.
