UNSPSC 42182008 Medical exam scope handles is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as components within broader medical equipment and emergency response supply acquisitions rather than as standalone items. Recent solicitations show the code appearing tangentially within larger medical and first aid supply buys—most notably the City of Tampa's sealed-bid procurement (Bid 26-P-00145) for Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division medical and first aid supplies, posted March 25, 2026 with a March 13 closing date, and Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs compatible with Stryker LP35 monitors, posted April 6, 2026 with closure April 13, 2026. The medical exam scope handle is typically purchased as part of larger bundled orders encompassing respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, airway devices, bandaging materials, oxygen delivery systems, and other emergency medical consumables. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal fire departments, county emergency services, and public health agencies; the recent opportunities show activity concentrated among fire rescue operations and first responder equipment procurement.

Activity under the code is geographically dispersed across Florida (Hillsborough County and City of Tampa) with limited recent visibility. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16 response date, spans multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and includes participating entities throughout the United States and Canada, though the mismatch between law enforcement scope and medical exam equipment suggests limited direct relevance to this commodity code. The City of Tampa's medical and first aid supplies IFB is the most directly aligned recent opportunity, budgeted at $700,000.00 with a 5% bid discount set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and an estimated contract term of one year with two optional renewal periods. Geographic concentration and recent opportunity volume remain modest for this specific commodity code.
