UNSPSC 42143518 Tinnitus maskers (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local activity, with solicitations that are predominantly medical equipment and ophthalmic supplies rather than true tinnitus masking devices. State and local governments are procuring medical equipment and related accessories through this code — particularly handheld video laryngoscopes, ophthalmic instruments, and law enforcement equipment — though the connection to the code's nominal scope of tinnitus maskers is unclear. Issuing bodies include county health systems and departments (Collier County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California) procuring medical capital equipment and consumables for specialty centers and general county operations, as well as cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell representing multi-state and multi-jurisdiction participation in law enforcement equipment frameworks.

Recent opportunities include Collier County's notice of intent to single source a GlideScope Go 2 handheld video laryngoscope from Verathon Inc., with a contract term running May 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029 (solicitation PUR17682, posted July 30, 2026); Santa Clara County's ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories due July 10, 2026 (ITB-PRC-FY26-0664, posted June 21, 2026), structured as a three-year all-or-none bid with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington, Minnesota, and other states, due June 16, 2026. Activity centers in California and Florida, with broader multi-state reach through cooperative purchasing. The code shows minimal alignment with tinnitus masker procurement specifically; recent opportunities reflect medical device and equipment procurement rather than auditory masking products.
