In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an fiberoptic medical thermometer in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42182202 Fiberoptic medical thermometers is a Commodity code nominally designating a specific diagnostic instrument, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement activity under this code's specific scope. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida's ITB #25-CR-069 for first aid supplies lists thermometers as one of 34 line items in a broader consumables contract estimated at $130,000 annually, but does not specify fiberoptic technology or distinguish this product category from general first aid inventory. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles facilitating multi-jurisdiction procurement. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and beyond targets law enforcement equipment broadly and does not substantiate procurement of this specific thermometer type for state or local government use.

Pinellas County, Florida represents the primary recent documented activity, with the first aid supplies ITB closing November 20, 2025 and contract performance running February 11, 2026 through February 10, 2027, with delivery to the Walter Pownall Service Center Warehouse in Largo. The code shows limited recent state and local contract activity explicitly tied to fiberoptic medical thermometers as a standalone procurement line. Vendors evaluating this code should validate whether customer demand aligns with the narrowly defined product scope or whether procurement interest concentrates in bundled medical supply or law enforcement equipment frameworks where thermometers appear as ancillary line items rather than primary contract drivers.
