UNSPSC 42182413: Medical tuning fork sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of devices that assess the range of patient hearing in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical tuning fork sets under 21 CFR 874.1925 and under FDA product code ETK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 920999.

UNSPSC 42182413 Medical tuning fork sets (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant opportunities in the most recent solicitations posted across state, county, city, and school district jurisdictions. The available opportunities—a Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment, Klein ISD's CTE and advanced academics RFP, Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs, and the City of Tampa's bid for medical and first aid supplies—all address medical equipment, emergency response supplies, or instructional resources, but none reference tuning forks or audiometric testing instruments. The medical and first aid supplies solicitation from Tampa Fire Rescue (Bid 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026, estimated value $700,000.00) and the Hillsborough County blood pressure cuff procurement (due April 13, 2026, $44,385.00) represent active medical-equipment contracting at the local level, yet neither involves the diagnostic or assessment tools that would fall under this Commodity code.

This code warrants close monitoring if your firm supplies tuning forks or audiometric testing kits to health departments, county health offices, school districts, or public safety agencies, as those issuing bodies would be the likely buyers. However, the current lack of visible opportunities suggests either light procurement velocity under this specific code, consolidation into broader medical-equipment or instrumentation contracts, or tagging misalignment between the code and actual state and local solicitations. Conduct outreach to health departments and school district purchasing offices in your target geographies to identify whether demand exists but is being captured under different UNSPSC codes or procured through standing contracts rather than new RFPs.
