UNSPSC 42182209 Thermometer probes is a Commodity code representing a narrow product category that state and local governments procure as part of broader first aid and medical supply programs. The code captures individual thermometer units and probe assemblies purchased for distribution to public facilities, schools, and emergency-response operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. Thermometer probes appear most commonly as line items within larger medical and first aid supply tenders rather than as standalone procurements, bundled with complementary consumables such as gauze, bandages, gloves, and sharps containers.

The Pinellas County Schools (Florida) ITB #25CR069 for first aid supplies, posted April 13, 2026 with a response date of November 20, 2025, included thermometers as one of 34 line items within an estimated annual spend of $130,000 for delivery to the Walter Pownall Service Center Warehouse in Largo. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response deadline June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and other jurisdictions nationwide; thermometer probes fall within the scope of law enforcement and public safety equipment available through that framework. Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with school districts and multi-jurisdictional cooperatives as primary issuing bodies. The code shows moderate procurement activity tied to annual medical supply cycles and equipment standardization agreements rather than emergency or seasonal demand spikes.
