UNSPSC 42181500: Diagnostic assessment and exam products for general use

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in diagnostic assessment based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42181500 Diagnostic assessment and exam products for general use is a Class code encompassing pre-employment and pre-enrollment physical examination services, polygraph examinations, and related diagnostic screening provided to state agencies and local government entities. State and local buyers under this code solicit contracted physician, nurse practitioner, and physician's assistant services to conduct standardized medical evaluations for program entry, employment screening, and law enforcement candidacy assessment. The issuing bodies include state departments (California Conservation Corps, California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control), cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint), and county governments. Contracts are typically awarded on a per-examination cost basis with multi-year terms and renewal options, and insurance and professional licensing requirements are standard.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in California, where the California Conservation Corps has posted six separate IFBs since late June 2026 for pre-enrollment physicals at its training centers in Camarillo, Tahoe, Delta, Los Pinos, and Ventura, with estimated contract values ranging from $30,000 to $50,000 per location and terms extending through 2028 or 2029. The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control issued IFB 26-0101 in June 2026 for pre-employment polygraph examinations across Northern California, capped at $40,000 over an initial 24-month term commencing September 1, 2026, with a 5% small-business preference and DVBE incentive available. NASPO ValuePoint posted two cooperative-purchasing RFPs (NVP_1443 and RFP 1433) for medical supplies with November 9, 2026 response dates, administered by Idaho and South Dakota respectively and open to state and local entities nationwide. Sourcewell (Minnesota) posted RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026), though this opportunity appears misaligned with the diagnostic-assessment code scope. Small-business preferences, DVBE incentives, and California-certified small-business subcontractor participation opportunities are consistently available across California Conservation Corps solicitations.
