UNSPSC 42182024 Medical exam scope or specula transformers is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The three substantive solicitations in the source—a Hillsborough County, Florida sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs compatible with Stryker LP35 defibrillators ($44,385.00 for nine months through December 31, 2026), a City of Tampa IFB for medical and first aid supplies including respiratory equipment, cardiac electrodes, and consumables ($700,000.00 estimated, due March 13, 2026), and a Klein Independent School District RFP for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources—represent purchases of finished medical equipment, emergency response supplies, and educational materials. None of these opportunities align with the code's stated focus on medical exam scopes or specula transformers, which are diagnostic and examination instruments. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source records or a divergence between the code's taxonomy name and current procurement practice under the classification.

A fourth opportunity, Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026, through https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov), is a cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County (Washington), and participating entities nationwide, but contains no detail indicating medical examination equipment procurement. The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, Washington, and Minnesota, with issuing bodies including county fire-rescue departments, independent school districts, and a state-level cooperative purchasing unit. Because the code shows minimal substantive recent activity aligned with its stated scope, practitioners should verify the code classification against specific opportunity details before pursuing procurement under this classification.
