UNSPSC 42182704 Skinfold calipers is a Commodity code for a specific measurement instrument used in health and fitness assessments. State and local governments procure skinfold calipers primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and master-agreement frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions to achieve volume pricing. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services departments, state procurement offices administering cooperative purchasing consortiums such as NASPO ValuePoint, and county or regional health agencies. Purchases typically occur as line items within larger medical supplies or public health equipment contracts rather than as standalone skinfold-caliper procurements.

Recent activity centers on NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for medical supplies, posted by Texas and Idaho participating entities with a response deadline of November 9, 2026, which establishes a framework master agreement for medical supplies across multiple product categories to supply state agencies and participating public entities through cooperative purchasing. The geographic spread of recent solicitations includes Idaho, South Dakota (as administering state for NASPO ValuePoint), and participating jurisdictions across multiple states enrolled in the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative. Skinfold calipers appear as one commodity within the broader medical supplies scope rather than as a standalone procurement; no recent opportunity exclusively targets skinfold calipers as the primary product line.
