UNSPSC 42182203 Medical thermometer carrying cases or covers (Commodity) appears in state and local solicitations focused on law enforcement and first aid supply procurement, where thermometers and their protective accessories are bundled with broader medical or protective equipment categories rather than solicited as standalone items. State and local governments buy thermometers and cases under this code as part of comprehensive first aid kits, medical supply contracts, and law enforcement equipment packages distributed to schools, public health departments, emergency services, and municipal agencies. The issuing bodies include school districts, counties, state cooperative purchasing vehicles, and multi-jurisdictional procurement consortia seeking to establish framework agreements for medical and protective equipment.

Recent activity centers on two representative opportunities: Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to procure law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and numerous U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions; and the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued ITB #25-CR-069 in April 2026 to supply first aid materials including thermometers to its central warehouse in Largo, with an estimated annual spend of approximately $130,000 and a contract period running February 11, 2026 through February 10, 2027. Geographic activity spans the Pacific Northwest and Florida, with cooperative purchasing frameworks extending across multiple states. The code sees modest procurement volume, typically as a line item within larger medical or safety equipment contracts rather than as the primary procurement focus.
