UNSPSC 42182113: Stethoscope covers

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

UNSPSC 42182113 Stethoscope covers is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under this code bear little relationship to stethoscope covers themselves. The source includes a sole-source procurement from Hillsborough County, Florida for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and hoses ($44,385.00 estimated value through December 31, 2026), a competitive bid from the City of Tampa for medical and first aid supplies including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, and other emergency-response consumables ($700,000.00 estimated value), a cooperative purchasing RFP from Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions nationwide for law enforcement equipment, and a construction bid from Collin County, Texas for an electronic security system upgrade at a detention facility ($3,300,000.00 probable construction cost). Only the Hillsborough County blood pressure cuff procurement and the Tampa Fire Department medical supplies bid align with healthcare or medical equipment purchasing; the law enforcement equipment and detention facility security contracts do not. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for the commodity it nominally describes.

Issuing bodies in the source include a county (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue), a city fire department (Tampa), a state cooperative purchasing vehicle serving counties and school districts nationwide (Sourcewell), and a county construction project (Collin County). Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Washington, and a multi-state cooperative framework, but only two opportunities are genuinely related to medical supplies or healthcare equipment procurement. The absence of recent stethoscope-cover-specific opportunities, combined with the mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations posted under it, suggests this Commodity code does not currently drive material state and local procurement volume or reflects active buying patterns in this category.
