UNSPSC 42182327: Thesiometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument designed to measure simply and accurately the threshold of appreciation of vibration in humans in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182327 Thesiometers, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two opportunities posted under this code in the recent window do not reflect actual thesiometer purchases; instead, they span broad medical supplies (through a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle) and law enforcement equipment (through a Sourcewell multi-jurisdictional cooperative). State and local governments procuring under this code appear to be accessing framework agreements established through cooperative purchasing consortia rather than executing direct solicitations for thesiometers or related thermal-measurement instruments. The medical supplies RFP establishes a catalog-based distribution model with tiered pricing and volume discounts; the law enforcement equipment procurement creates a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions.

The geographic spread spans Idaho (as the sponsoring state for the NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies RFP, due November 9, 2026) and Washington state law-governed cooperative participation (the Sourcewell RFP 061626 Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, which extends across Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties and numerous entities nationwide and in Canada). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (thesiometers) and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscategorization in the posting records or limited genuine thesiometer procurement through state and local channels. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged to this code represent genuine thermal-measurement instrument demand or reflect cooperative purchasing framework administrative coding that does not track specific product lines.
