UNSPSC 42182204: Medical thermometer racks

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a storage rack for an electronic medical thermometer in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical thermometer racks under 21 CFR 880.2910 and under FDA product code FLL. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392690.

UNSPSC 42182204 Medical thermometer racks is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities posted under or near this code show significant scope divergence: Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP for broad law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple counties and public entities across Washington, the upper Midwest, and Canada with a June 16, 2026 response deadline; separately, the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued an ITB for first aid supplies (34 line items including thermometers among many other consumables) with an estimated annual spend of approximately $130,000 and a contract period from February 11, 2026 to February 10, 2027. Neither opportunity explicitly targets medical thermometer racks as a distinct product line, and the law enforcement equipment solicitation makes no mention of medical equipment at all. The first aid supplies ITB names thermometers as one item within a broader consumables portfolio but does not isolate rack infrastructure or mounting solutions.

The issuing bodies in recent activity span a state-chartered cooperative (Sourcewell acting on behalf of participating counties and school districts) and a large urban school district (Pinellas County). Geographic concentration is limited to Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) in the Sourcewell vehicle and Florida in the school district procurement, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or state-level engagement. The code shows minimal alignment between its stated product category and actual state and local buying signals. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether current opportunities in their target jurisdictions are genuinely seeking dedicated thermometer rack products or whether the code tagging reflects administrative misclassification within broader medical supply or equipment procurements.
