UNSPSC 42182203: Medical thermometer carrying cases or covers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a carrying case or cover for an electronic medical thermometer in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical thermometer carrying cases or covers under 21 CFR 880.29 and under FDA product code FLK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 401699.

UNSPSC 42182203 Medical thermometer carrying cases or covers is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single identifiable opportunity under this code appears in the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida's ITB #25-CR-069 for first aid supplies, which covers 34 line items of medical consumables including thermometers as one component of a broader $130,000 annual first aid kit procurement. The code's specificity — medical thermometer cases or covers alone — does not align cleanly with the actual buying patterns reflected in recent solicitations, which bundle thermometers with dozens of other first aid items rather than sourcing specialized carrying cases or covers as standalone products.

School districts represent the primary identified issuing body under this code in recent activity. Geographic reach is limited to Florida based on available records. The Pinellas County School Board ITB #25-CR-069, due November 20, 2025, is the representative opportunity on record; bidders must register with E-Verify, comply with Florida public entity crime laws, submit product samples, and accept credit card payments, with Florida-based suppliers receiving preference rights. The contract runs February 11, 2026 through February 10, 2027. The two other opportunities in the source—Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP and Sourcewell's multistate law enforcement equipment RFP—do not align with thermometer cases or covers and represent code misclassification rather than actionable market signals for this commodity.
