UNSPSC 42182217: Electronic thermometer service contracts

This commodity code is for service contracts on electronic thermometers used in a medical setting. The service contracts could be for tympanic or predictive thermometers.

UNSPSC 42182217 Electronic thermometer service contracts (Commodity) sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with posted opportunities showing minimal alignment to the code's nominal scope. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued an ITB for first aid supplies including thermometers as one of 34 line items in a broader consumables procurement, and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services involving medical examinations; neither opportunity centers on thermometer-specific services or contracting. A third posting by Sourcewell for law enforcement equipment shows no connection to thermometer procurement whatsoever. The code does not support a meaningful characterization of active state and local buying patterns in this commodity category based on available solicitation records.

The geographic activity reflected in recent postings spans Florida and Washington, with Sourcewell's cooperative framework available nationally; however, the thermometer-code listings do not constitute sustained procurement volume under this specific commodity classification. Pinellas County's ITB (#25CR069) due November 20, 2025 budgets approximately $130,000 annually for first aid supplies with thermometers embedded as minor line items, and the Washington State Ferries RFP (due October 9, 2026) engages medical service delivery rather than thermometer procurement. State and local procurement offices appear to classify thermometer purchases inconsistently or to source them through broader medical-supplies, first-aid-kit, or health-services contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. Business development professionals should verify actual code assignment when responding to health-care or first-aid opportunities to confirm thermometer work is discretely scoped and valued.
