UNSPSC 42142810: Vascular or compression gloves

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that apply vascular or compression to the hands. It is prescribed or purchased over the counter to enhance flow of bodily fluid to the hands.

UNSPSC 42142810 Vascular or compression gloves (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly solicit automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator batteries and pads, and related emergency medical equipment—not vascular or compression gloves. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a drift in how jurisdictions are classifying emergency medical equipment purchases. No recent solicitations for compression gloves appear in the activity block. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, state departments, cities, and cooperative purchasing consortia. School districts including Utica Community Schools (Michigan) and Cobb County School District (Georgia) have solicited AED equipment; county governments including Marion County (Florida), Harris County (Texas), Bryan County (Georgia), and Sarasota County (Florida) have sought cardiac monitors, defibrillators, and replacement batteries; and state agencies including Colorado and Georgia have pursued AEDs through sole source and competitive RFQ processes. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited miscellaneous medical supplies including defibrillator pads for a state-operated facility.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Colorado, and Idaho, with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell extending reach across multiple states. Recent representative opportunities include Utica Community Schools' October 2026 IFB for Automated External Defibrillators (due October 28, 2026), Harris County's April 2026 RFP for Automatic External Defibrillators and related items (due May 18, 2026), and Georgia's July 2026 RFQ for AEDs (due September 2, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in August 2026 for miscellaneous medical supplies including defibrillator pads for the Denton State Supported Living Center, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $50,000. Cobb County School District posted two separate quotes for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories, each budgeted at approximately $50,000. Because recent opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with vascular or compression gloves, this code presents no relevant pursuit opportunity in the current market.
