UNSPSC 42182216: Predictive electronic medical thermometers

This commodity is an electronic predictive (under the tongue) medical thermometer that is used in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42182216 Predictive electronic medical thermometers is a Commodity code that covers thermometer devices and related temperature-measurement products procured by state and local government agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show thermometers purchased as part of broader first aid and medical supply bundles rather than as standalone commodity orders. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida solicited thermometers as one line item within a 34-item first aid supplies ITB covering consumables including bandages, gauze, exam gloves, and sharps containers. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code span school districts and specialized government agencies; K–12 districts appear to be primary buyers, supported by state departments and county health or occupational-safety programs that bundle thermometer procurement with broader medical surveillance or occupational health initiatives.

Recent activity shows limited geographic spread. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued an ITB #25-CR-069 for first aid supplies including thermometers, with a bid due date of November 20, 2025 and an estimated annual usage value of approximately $130,000 over a February 2026 to February 2027 contract period. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) that encompasses medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations but does not explicitly call out thermometer procurement as a line item. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) does not show thermometer-specific demand. The code shows sparse recent direct activity; most thermometer procurement appears embedded in larger medical supply or occupational health contracts rather than solicited as a discrete equipment category.
