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 that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers protective sheaths for diagnostic medical instruments, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect sprinkler replacement, general medical supplies frameworks, and law enforcement equipment — none of which relate to stethoscope covers or similar clinical accessories. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these solicitations with this code in error, or the code receives sparse genuine activity in the state and local market.

The available records include Collin County, Texas posting an IFB for construction services to replace institutional fire-suppression sprinkler heads in the Collin County Jail (due November 19, 2026, with an estimated cost of $150,000); Texas posting a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative RFP for medical supplies administered by Idaho (due November 9, 2026); and Sourcewell issuing an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions (closed June 16, 2026). None of these opportunities involve stethoscope covers or related medical examination supplies. The absence of posted opportunities genuinely aligned with the code's scope signals either inactive procurement demand or systematic miscoding at the state and local level. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for stethoscope covers and related diagnostic protective equipment before pursuing activity under this code.
