UNSPSC 42182105 Stethoscope head covers is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure stethoscope head covers and related clinical examination accessories under this code, typically as part of broader medical and first aid supply programs. The solicitations tagged under this code show a pattern of health care and emergency response procurement — fire departments, emergency medical services, and health care facilities source these items as consumable components of diagnostic equipment. Recent opportunities reveal that issuers combine stethoscope head covers with larger medical supply buys rather than soliciting them as standalone items; the Hillsborough County procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and the City of Tampa buy for medical and first aid supplies both reflect integrated clinical supply programs where stethoscope accessories appear alongside respiratory equipment, monitoring devices, bandaging materials, and other emergency response consumables. Issuing bodies include counties (Hillsborough County, Collin County), cities (Tampa), and school districts (Klein ISD), with fire rescue departments and hospital systems as the primary end users.

Geographic concentration is visible in Florida and Texas, where Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa represent active fire rescue procurement, and Collin County and Klein ISD represent health and safety-related buying in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The most relevant recent opportunity is Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's April 2026 sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and six-foot hoses compatible with Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillators, with quantities including 850 adult cuffs, 200 pediatric cuffs, 150 infant cuffs, 100 extension adapters, and 250 hoses totaling $44,385.00 through December 31, 2026. The City of Tampa posted an IFB (26-P-00145) on March 25, 2026, for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, due March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises offering a 5% bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Activity is episodic; the code shows limited recent volume outside these two Florida fire rescue programs.
