UNSPSC 42132211: Sustainable exam gloves

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is made with plant-based biodegradable materials, is recyclable or is made with recycled materials 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.

UNSPSC 42132211 Sustainable exam gloves, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Florida, California, and Washington state—address medical equipment and services (ultrasound systems, surgical laser and power equipment, ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment, and intraosseous infusion systems) that fall outside the scope of examination gloves and protective apparel. The code appears to be a cataloging mismatch in these solicitations rather than an active procurement category for the nominal commodity.

State and local governments do purchase examination gloves and related personal protective equipment through general supplies and healthcare procurement channels, but the opportunities block contains no instances of glove-specific solicitations, RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs. Without substantive recent activity in the data provided, no issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative opportunities can be characterized from this source.
