UNSPSC 42182109: Stethoscope head diaphragms

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is the diaphragm inside the head portion of a stethoscope used in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42182109 Stethoscope head diaphragms is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized clinical diagnostic equipment components, though the recent state and local opportunities on file show minimal activity directly aligned with this narrow product specification. State and local governments procure stethoscope and diagnostic equipment components primarily through medical supply contracts and healthcare facility purchasing, which typically bundle individual components like diaphragms alongside broader medical instrumentation and consumables rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies pursuing work in this code family include municipal fire and rescue departments, county detention facilities, school districts, and county health systems, with purchasing occurring through both direct procurement and cooperative agreements. Scope varies from routine medical supply replenishment to specialized equipment that must integrate with existing clinical infrastructure.

Recent opportunities indexed to this code include the Hillsborough County, Florida sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator systems (posted April 6, 2026, closed April 13, 2026, estimated value $44,385.00), and the City of Tampa invitation to bid for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division (posted March 25, 2026, closed March 13, 2026, estimated value $700,000.00). The Sourcewell cooperative procurement for Law Enforcement Equipment (RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) and Klein Independent School District's Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics RFP (posted April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026) also carry this code classification but involve broader commodity scope that extends well beyond diagnostic components. Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with cooperative purchasing frameworks available through Sourcewell in Minnesota. The code shows limited specialized-component procurement and substantial breadth-mismatch in recent opportunities, suggesting that stethoscope diaphragms as a discrete line item do not drive measurable recent state and local solicitation volume under this classification.
