UNSPSC 42182210: Non mercury glass medical thermometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a non-mercury glass thermometer in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902511.

UNSPSC 42182210 Non mercury glass medical thermometers, a Commodity code, covers thermometers and related measurement devices procured as part of broader first aid and medical supply contracts by state and local health and safety programs. State and local governments source this product primarily as a consumable line item within larger medical supply bundles rather than as standalone procurement; recent opportunities show thermometers bundled with bandages, gauze, sharps containers, exam gloves, and other first aid supplies for school districts, transit authorities, and other service-delivery agencies. Issuing bodies include county school boards and state transportation departments, which consolidate thermometer purchases into consolidated first aid or occupational health inventory contracts to simplify logistics and standardize pricing across multiple delivery locations.

Recent activity centers on Florida and Washington. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida posted ITB #25CR069 in September 2026 for first aid supplies including thermometers, with an estimated annual usage of approximately $130,000 and a bid deadline of November 20, 2025; the contract covers delivery to a central warehouse with preference rights for Florida-based suppliers. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 in August 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services on behalf of Washington State Ferries, which includes thermometers and related medical equipment as part of baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. A third posted opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment across multiple states—does not reflect meaningful thermometer procurement activity and appears mistagged to this code.
