UNSPSC 42131602 Medical staff beard covers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments use this code to procure personal protective equipment for healthcare and clinical personnel, but the three most recent solicitations in the available dataset diverge substantially from beard covers specifically: one names a broad cooperative-purchasing vehicle for general medical supplies (NASPO ValuePoint), another seeks occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), and the third solicits law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). The code's actual purchasing activity remains unclear from these records; beard covers may be purchased as line items within broader medical-supply or PPE agreements rather than as standalone solicitations.

The geographic spread of the few relevant opportunities spans South Dakota (as administering state for the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and a multi-state network through Sourcewell. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, is the closest match to the code's scope — it establishes master agreements for medical supplies across state and local entities nationwide, though specific commodity categories are not detailed in the posting. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment procurement (RFP 061626, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) fall outside the code's primary scope. The code shows limited discrete solicitation activity; bidders should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and broader medical-supply agreements as the primary avenue for beard-cover procurement.
