UNSPSC 42182013: Vaginal exam speculas

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a tool designed to inspect the anus or rectums in humans. US FDA regulates Vaginal exam speculas under 21 CFR 884.4520 and under FDA product code HDF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42182013 Vaginal exam speculas is a Commodity code covering medical examination and diagnostic equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the nominal scope. The three state and local opportunities posted between March and June 2026 that were tagged to this code reflect broader medical and first aid supply procurement rather than gynecological examination equipment specifically. The City of Tampa's sealed bid for medical and first aid supplies (Bid Number 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) encompasses 169 line items of emergency response consumables including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, and various medical consumables for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division; Hillsborough County's sole source procurement (SS2600228, due April 13, 2026) targets Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with Stryker defibrillator systems; and Klein Independent School District's RFP for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics (RFP 26-101, due June 5, 2026) spans instructional resources across 17 program areas including health sciences. The code shows little recent activity directly soliciting vaginal exam speculas or similar gynecological instruments in isolation.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), Florida (Hillsborough County and City of Tampa), and Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties). Issuing bodies range from city fire departments and county emergency services to school districts and state-backed cooperative purchasing vehicles serving thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual content of recent opportunities suggests either misclassification at posting or that vaginal exam speculas procurement under this code does not currently drive meaningful recent activity in state and local markets.
