UNSPSC 42182004: Dermatoscopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device used to examine the skin at low (e.g., 10X) magnification in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 900630.

UNSPSC 42182004 Dermatoscopes is a Commodity code that shows limited recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no dermatoscope solicitations; instead, it surfaces handheld retinal screening devices (San Mateo Medical Center), fiber splicing services (Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative), medical supplies via cooperative purchasing (Idaho via NASPO ValuePoint), physical health products (Sourcewell), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). Only the San Mateo Medical Center opportunity involves a handheld diagnostic device purchased by a state or local health system, and it specifies retinal screening rather than dermatology. The code nominally addresses handheld dermatology instruments, but the recent-opportunities block does not support active state and local demand for dermatoscopes specifically.

The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (solicitation 660002627264, due November 6, 2026) is the sole recent opportunity with any connection to handheld diagnostic screening equipment; it represents procurement by a public hospital system in San Mateo County, California, and requires EPIC EHR integration, HIPAA compliance, wireless connectivity, on-site training, and 24/7 technical support. Local business preferences apply with 5–10 percentage point scoring adjustments. No other recent opportunities in the block target dermatoscopes, dermatology equipment, or skin-imaging devices across state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities. The code shows no identifiable concentration of activity across multiple jurisdictions or regions. Business development professionals should treat this code as low-activity and monitor San Mateo County and similar health system procurement channels for dermatology-device demand, but should not expect regular solicitation volume under this specific UNSPSC classification.
