UNSPSC 42182702: Medical tape measures

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that can measure the size of an object or space in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical tape measures under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code FTY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42182702 Medical tape measures is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect actual procurement activity in this specific product category. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch: they include law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple counties), career and technical education instructional resources (Klein Independent School District, Texas), blood pressure cuffs and monitoring equipment (Hillsborough County, Florida), and general medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations (City of Tampa). None of these solicitations reference tape measures or measurement devices of any kind. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The four recorded opportunities span multiple issuing-body types—a state-authorized cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), a large school district in Texas, a county fire rescue department, and a municipal fire department—across Florida, Texas, and Washington. However, because these procurements do not match the code's stated product line, they offer no meaningful signal for business development focused on medical tape measure supply to state and local buyers. No representative opportunities in the actual medical tape measure category are present in the source material.
