UNSPSC 42182411 Medical tuning fork hammers, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The three opportunities tagged under this code procure medical and first aid supplies, blood pressure cuffs, law enforcement equipment, and career-technical education resources—none of which are tuning fork hammers or diagnostic instruments of that type. The most concrete recent solicitation is Hillsborough County, Florida's sole source procurement (SS2600228, closed April 13, 2026) for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator systems, estimated at $44,385.00 through December 31, 2026. The City of Tampa (26P00145, closed March 13, 2026) issued an IFB for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, estimated at $700,000.00 and designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount. Neither opportunity involves tuning fork hammers or related diagnostic tools.

The code shows recent activity across Florida and Texas jurisdictions, with issuing bodies including county health and emergency services departments, city fire departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington State counties and other jurisdictions nationwide, and Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas issued RFP #26-101 (due June 5, 2026) for career-technical education and advanced academics instructional resources. The mismatch between the code's nominal product scope and the actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is not actively used for its intended commodity in current state and local procurement.
