UNSPSC 42182202: Fiberoptic medical thermometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an fiberoptic medical thermometer in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Fiberoptic medical thermometers under 21 CFR 880.29 and under FDA product code FLK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902511.

UNSPSC 42182202 Fiberoptic medical thermometers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued an Invitation to Bid in September 2026 for first aid supplies including thermometers as one of 34 consumable line items (ITB #25-CR-069, due November 20, 2025), and the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services in August 2026 (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) that may include medical examinations and assessments. A third opportunity—Sourcewell's cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626)—bears no relationship to medical thermometry and appears to be tagged to this code in error. The Pinellas County solicitation is the only recent posting with direct relevance to first aid or general medical supplies; fiberoptic thermometers as a discrete product line do not surface as a standalone focus in any of the three opportunities reviewed.

Activity under this code is sparse among state and local buyers. The Pinellas County school district's inclusion of thermometers within a bundled first aid supplies contract (estimated annual usage $130,000, contract period February 11, 2026 through February 10, 2027) represents the only concrete match to fiberoptic medical thermometer procurement. The code shows little recent standalone purchasing activity and does not support a meaningful geographic or issuing-body characterization. Firms pursuing business under UNSPSC 42182202 should expect thermometers to be bid as components of larger medical supply or first aid kits rather than as discrete line items, and should monitor school districts, transportation authorities, and municipal departments for bundled medical supplies solicitations where thermometry might be included.
