UNSPSC 42131604: Medical staff bouffant caps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a bouffant cap by people engaged as medical staff. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 650100.

UNSPSC 42131604 Medical staff bouffant caps is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear little direct connection to the code's nominal scope. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies (due November 9, 2026) establishes master agreements for medical supplies across state and local entities nationwide through cooperative purchasing, but does not specify bouffant caps or personal protective equipment categories in the available posting. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) procures physician-led occupational health examinations across 14 ferry terminals in Washington, entirely distinct from apparel or head coverings. A third posting under Sourcewell (June 16, 2026 deadline) sought law enforcement equipment, plainly outside medical-apparel scope. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

Geographic and issuing-body spread reflects the cooperative-purchasing structure of the one partially relevant posting: NASPO ValuePoint administers the medical-supplies master agreement with South Dakota as the administering state and proposals submitted through Idaho's procurement system, enabling use by state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts nationwide. The Washington ferry system and Sourcewell cooperative represent isolated non-aligned solicitations. No recent standalone IFB or ITB notices from individual municipalities or counties specifically targeting bouffant caps or medical head coverings appear in the source material. State and local procurement activity under this code shows mismatch between the commodity title and what is actually being bought in recent solicitations.
