UNSPSC 42182001 Anal or rectal exam speculas is a Commodity code covering single-use and reusable examination instruments for colorectal procedures procured by state health departments, Medicaid agencies, and public healthcare systems. State and local governments purchase these devices as components of broader medical supply frameworks and cooperative purchasing agreements that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions to achieve volume-based pricing and standardized contracting terms.

The geographic spread and representative recent activity reflect cooperative-purchasing dominance in this commodity segment. NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 Idaho Medical Supplies, posted October 6, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes a master-agreement framework for medical supplies across multiple product categories through a cooperative vehicle sponsored by Idaho state agencies and open to participating NASPO ValuePoint entities nationwide. A companion NASPO ValuePoint Medical Supplies RFP 1433, posted September 25, 2026 and also due November 9, 2026, administers the same cooperative purchasing vehicle through South Dakota's procurement system and the NASPO ValuePoint website. Both solicitations require vendors to submit comprehensive product catalogs and competitive unit pricing, with potential volume discounts or tiered pricing structures tied to order quantities. Individual agency budgets fund purchases as items are ordered under the resulting contract. The RFP does not specify which small-business, state-preference, or other set-aside programs are active. Bidders' conferences or site visits may be scheduled to facilitate vendor understanding of requirements.
