UNSPSC 42182100: Stethoscopes and related products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized as stethoscopes and accessories utilized in medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42182100 Stethoscopes and related products is a Class code under which state and local governments procure diagnostic listening devices and accessories for clinical use in health departments, public health clinics, emergency services, and educational institutions. The code covers stethoscopes themselves — standard acoustic models and electronic variants — along with replacement earpieces, diaphragms, tubing, and related wear parts. State and local health agencies, county public health departments, municipal EMS and fire services, and school districts with health or nursing programs all buy under this code to equip clinical staff, train paramedics and nurses, and maintain rotating inventories as equipment wears or is lost. Procurement tends toward small-dollar IFB and RFQ cycles, often bundled with broader medical supply or equipment orders rather than standing alone.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under UNSPSC 42182100. Without posted solicitations, geographic concentration and representative recent activity cannot be characterized from current data. Business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor state health department procurement notices, county purchasing bulletins, and school district RFQ cycles for stethoscope and diagnostic accessory buys, as the code reflects standard ongoing clinical supply needs rather than episodic or large-scale procurement events.
