UNSPSC 42181502: Medical exam transilluminators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a transilluminator for a medical exam in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical exam transilluminators under 21 CFR 886.1945 and under FDA product code HJM. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181502 Medical exam transilluminators is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code show minimal procurement activity directly aligned with transilluminators themselves. Of the four recent opportunities, only one — Hillsborough County, Florida's sole source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs (posted April 6, 2026, due April 13, 2026) — involves medical equipment, and that is blood pressure cuffs and hoses for fire rescue operations, not transilluminators. The other three opportunities involve law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell RFP #061626), career technical education instructional resources (Klein ISD RFP #26-101), and emergency medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue (City of Tampa ITB #26-P-00145). While the Tampa and Hillsborough County procurements reflect state and local health and emergency-response purchasing, the code shows no clear pattern of recent transilluminator solicitations. Issuing bodies active in the recent record include county governments (Hillsborough County, counties within Sourcewell's network), school districts (Klein ISD), cities (Tampa), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit serving governmental agencies nationwide).

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Hillsborough County and City of Tampa), Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), Washington State and national coverage (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing through RFP #061626), with no concentration in any single region. The Hillsborough County blood pressure cuff procurement, estimated at $44,385.00 for nine months through December 31, 2026, represents the closest match to medical equipment procurement under this code, but it is a sole source award to Technicuff Corp. for compatibility with Stryker LP35 monitors already deployed in fire rescue operations. The City of Tampa's medical and first aid supplies ITB #26-P-00145, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a response deadline of March 13, 2026 (already closed as of the current date), was sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount, but comprises general emergency medical consumables rather than transilluminators. The code shows little recent relevant activity; state and local procurement of transilluminators does not appear to generate regular solicitations under this code classification.
