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, a Commodity code, does not appear in the recent state and local contract opportunities examined. The source contains seven recent solicitations across health care, education, and law enforcement domains (San Mateo Medical Center laser and surgical power equipment; Hillsborough County ventilator maintenance; Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative; Marion County intraosseous infusion systems; Klein ISD instructional resources; Valencia College ultrasound equipment; and UT Health Science Center spinal implants), none of which address exam gloves, non-surgical gloves, or personal protective equipment consumables. The code's abstract scope—protective gloves for medical, examination, or industrial use—does not map to the medical equipment, surgical implants, instructional materials, and facility support services that dominate the recent posting stream under or near this taxonomy family.

No recent state and local opportunities appear to solicit under this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the procurement activity recorded suggests either that glove procurement under this code is light, that issuing bodies are tagging similar purchases under different UNSPSC families, or that the recent-opportunities block does not capture glove solicitations active in the market. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify current activity through direct searches of state and municipal procurement portals and cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint, or regional cooperatives) rather than rely on this code's recent posting history.
