UNSPSC 24113108: Insulated box for vaccines

Temperature controlled delivery box specialized for the transport of vaccines

UNSPSC 24113108 Insulated box for vaccines is a Commodity code that nominally covers thermal storage containers for vaccine distribution, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch with the category name. The five most recent solicitations span first aid supplies consumables (alcohol prep pads, bandages, gauze, exam gloves, sharps containers), occupational medical surveillance services (baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers), miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for a state-supported living center (feeding tubes, defibrillator pads, CPAP mask components, splints, adaptive utensils), aquatic park equipment design and installation, and law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. Only the medical surveillance and sheltered living center opportunities involve any thermal or cold-chain logistics, and none explicitly reference vaccine storage or vaccine-specific thermal packaging. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), counties (Williamson County and Reeves County in Texas, plus counties in Washington state purchasing through Sourcewell), school districts (indirectly through Sourcewell's member base), and a regional animal shelter. Geographic spread covers Texas, Washington, Florida, and Minnesota. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issued ITB 25-CR-069 for first aid supplies with an estimated annual value of approximately $130,000 and a bid deadline of November 20, 2025. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical supplies at the Denton State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $50,000 and a bid deadline of August 19, 2026. Given the scope divergence, vendors in vaccine cold-chain logistics or insulated thermal containers should monitor this code cautiously or verify individual opportunities for relevance before pursuing.
