About UNSPSC 42143501

UNSPSC 42143501 Earmold cleaning aids is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local activity matching its nominal scope. The recent opportunities identified under this code do not center on earmold cleaning aids; instead, they span medical equipment accessories (laryngoscopes), ophthalmic instruments and supplies, and law enforcement equipment. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag solicitations that fall outside its intended product family, indicating either a classification mismatch in the source database or low baseline activity in actual earmold cleaning aid procurement. When opportunities do appear under the code, they originate from county governments and cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning multiple jurisdictions rather than a concentrated buyer base.

The geographic spread is limited and scattered across recent postings. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source for medical equipment (GlideScope laryngoscope accessories) through May 11, 2026; Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories with a July 10, 2026 response deadline; and Sourcewell, on behalf of participating Washington counties and other public entities nationwide, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026. The code shows little concrete activity in its stated product category and does not support reliable forecasting of earmold cleaning aid demand at the state and local level based on recent solicitations.
