UNSPSC 42300000: Medical training and education supplies

In this classification, this family includes the products and supplies used in the portion of medical interactions that involve medical training and education based procedures.

UNSPSC 42300000 Medical training and education supplies is a Family code that spans simulators, anatomical models, training equipment, and classroom instructional supplies state and local governments buy for health professions education, emergency medical services training, nursing curriculum delivery, and specialized clinical skill development. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for high-fidelity simulation systems—nursing lab video capture and debriefing platforms, virtual anatomy dissection tables, obstetric and birth training models, canine veterinary simulators, and ambulance classroom trainers—alongside staffing services for school district nursing and curriculum development for community paramedicine programs. Issuing bodies include state universities (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma State University, Texas A&M University, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Minnesota State), county health agencies (Orange County Health Care Agency, Collier County), school districts (Provo City, East Hartford, Salt Lake City), and state procurement offices acting on behalf of health systems. The code shows steady activity across higher education, career and technical education, and emergency medical services training pipelines.

Geographic spread spans Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Utah, Missouri, and Florida, with the densest recent activity in Texas and Utah higher education. Representative recent opportunities include Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's IFB for obstetric trainer sets and birth simulation models (due June 10, 2026), Provo City School District's IFB for three virtual anatomy convertible tables (due March 10, 2026), Massachusetts Maritime Academy's IFB for a Type I classroom ambulance simulator with CPR benches and HD monitoring (due March 23, 2026), Minnesota State's RFP for a nursing simulation lab video capture and debriefing system with four lab bays and 12 fixed cameras (due June 1, 2026, anticipated budget $150,000), and Oklahoma State University's RFP for customized Community Paramedicine curriculum development and instructional design (due July 30, 2026). Markup preferences and set-asides appear in select procurements—HUB compliance, SDVE participation, and local small business preferences—though most solicitations remain open to all qualified respondents. Response cycles typically run 30–90 days from posting to close, with contract terms spanning one to five years and optional renewals common in equipment purchases.
