UNSPSC 42182022 Medical exam slit caps, a Commodity code, describes specialized optical or examination equipment components that state and local governments procure for healthcare delivery, law enforcement, and emergency medical services. Recent solicitations show that this code encompasses a broader range of medical examination and emergency response equipment than the nominal title suggests—state and local buyers use it to classify blood pressure cuffs, cardiac monitoring supplies, airway devices, and related first-aid consumables alongside optical instruments. Issuing bodies span municipal fire departments (Tampa Fire Department, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue), county health systems (Hillsborough County), independent school districts (Klein ISD), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional networks (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state counties and nationwide public entities). Klein ISD and Hillsborough County appear as recent active buyers, with purchasing driven by operational demand in emergency response, clinical care, and educational support settings.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with a significant cooperative-purchasing footprint extending across Washington state and the broader United States through Sourcewell. Representative recent opportunities include a Tampa Fire Rescue bid (ITB 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies including respiratory equipment, cardiac electrodes, and endotracheal tubes at an estimated contract value of $700,000.00, designated for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount; a Hillsborough County sole-source procurement (SS2600228, due April 13, 2026) for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with Stryker LP35 monitors at $44,385.00 for a nine-month term; and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment serving thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments nationwide. The code shows active state and local demand weighted toward emergency medical services supply chains and multi-entity cooperative frameworks.
