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 encompassing hands-on training equipment, curriculum development, and consumables used by state and local education institutions, healthcare systems, and public agencies to train clinical and emergency personnel. State and local governments buy CPR/AED training manikins and certification programs, medical simulation models for obstetric and nursing education, canine and anatomical training simulators for veterinary and emergency response programs, and curriculum design services to support evidence-based instruction in paramedicine, nursing, and community health. The issuing bodies span state education departments, public universities and community colleges, state health departments, and regional purchasing cooperatives. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is a standout repeat buyer, actively seeking comprehensive CPR/AED train-the-trainer programs with implementation support and instructor certification. Universities procure specialized simulation equipment — Rockland Community College sought a virtual cadaver table, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center procured obstetric training models, Texas A&M procured a K9 canine simulator, and South Central College procured a nursing simulation lab video capture system with live-streaming and debriefing capability.

Recent activity concentrates in Massachusetts, Texas, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. Representative opportunities include the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's RFR 27TALBWB2 for CPR/AED train-the-trainer professional learning with a maximum obligation of $425,000 and response deadline of October 22, 2026; Rockland Community College's IFB for a Virtual Cadaver Convertible Table with responses due August 20, 2026; Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's IFB for Paradigm Medical System obstetric training models with bids due June 10, 2026; Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences' RFP for Community Paramedicine curriculum development with proposals due July 30, 2026; and Minnesota State's RFP for South Central College's nursing simulation lab video capturing system valued at $150,000 with responses due June 1, 2026. Set-asides and preferences appear in several solicitations: the Massachusetts DESE opportunity requires a minimum 1% Supplier Diversity Program spending commitment with at least 25% of evaluation weight allocated to diversity plan evaluation, while Texas Tech and other universities reference HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) compliance and VetHUB subcontracting plans.
