UNSPSC 42181503 Exam or personal lubricants or jellies (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity. The source records ten state and local contract opportunities posted between April and October 2026, but none align with the code's scope. The opportunities span occupational medical examinations, autopsy equipment, veterinary diagnostics, first aid supplies, physical health products, EMS pharmaceuticals and supplies, forensic drug standards, ophthalmic instruments, law enforcement equipment, and pharmacy benefit management—none of which fall within lubricants or jellies used in clinical or personal care contexts. The code appears inactive in state and local procurement, or opportunities tagged to it are misclassified at the source.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities signals either low procurement volume under this category or systematic miscoding in state and local systems. If pursuing this code, verify whether your target jurisdictions—particularly Florida, Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, Washington, Minnesota, and Arizona, which dominate the recent source activity—maintain active demand for exam or personal lubricants through state contracts or cooperative purchasing vehicles. Direct outreach to procurement offices in these states to confirm whether the code sees regular activity outside this dataset would be prudent before allocating business development resources.
