UNSPSC 42172018 Flight surgeon physical examination set is a Commodity code under which state and local governments do not appear to be currently procuring flight surgeon physical examination sets or related equipment. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no purchasing activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Instead, the records identify solicitations for emergency medical services supplies, biomedical equipment, ophthalmic instruments, law enforcement equipment, medical examiner services, radiographic simulator systems, pharmacy benefit management, staffing services, and drug standards—none of which fall within the specific medical examination or flight surgeon equipment domain. The City of Tucson Fire Department's June 2026 RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and vending machines, Williamson County's June 2026 sole-source procurement of EZ-IO intraosseous infusion equipment, and County of Santa Clara's June 2026 ITB for ophthalmic instruments represent the largest and most recent postings in the dataset, yet none involve flight surgeon physicals or related examinations.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington State through various issuing bodies including city fire departments, county purchasing offices, and state cooperative procurement vehicles such as Sourcewell. However, the absence of flight surgeon physical examination procurement across these jurisdictions and timeframes suggests this code experiences minimal activity in state and local government contracting. If the code is being applied to opportunities in practice, the application appears inconsistent with the code's scope, signaling either that flight surgeon physical examination sets are not a material procurement need for state and local buyers or that such activity, if it exists, is being coded or reported differently within the UNSPSC taxonomy.
