UNSPSC 42182200: Medical thermometers and accessories

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

UNSPSC 42182200 Medical thermometers and accessories is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with medical thermometers themselves. The tagged opportunities reflect a fragmented pattern: most solicitations involve staffing services for medically fragile students, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, basic and advanced life support supplies and pharmaceuticals, veterinary diagnostics laboratory equipment, first aid medical supplies, ophthalmic instruments, autopsy equipment, forensic drug standards, and miscellaneous medical supplies for state supported living centers. Only one opportunity—the City of Tucson Fire Department's BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and supplies procurement (ITB 260217, due June 24, 2026)—includes thermometers or temperature-monitoring devices as a component of broader EMS supply delivery, and that is embedded within a 251-line-item price sheet covering glucometers, oxygen delivery equipment, IV sets, airway devices, and medication management through VendNovation vending machines and smart lockers. The code shows no recent dedicated thermometer or thermometer-accessory solicitations.

Issuing bodies in the opportunities block span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools staffing), counties (Collin County Medical Examiner, Williamson County EMS, Pinellas County Forensic Laboratory, Santa Clara County, Collier County, Forsyth County), municipal fire departments (City of Tucson), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Geographic spread covers Florida, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Arizona, with no dominant state concentration visible in the opportunities shown. The code's assignment to these solicitations appears driven by administrative classification rather than actual thermometer procurement, and business development professionals pursuing this code should expect to encounter medical supplies, laboratory consumables, and emergency services equipment in varying categories rather than thermometer-specific opportunities.
