UNSPSC 42131607: Medical staff jackets or coats

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a staff jacket or coat by people engaged as medical staff. US FDA regulates Medical staff jackets or coats under 21 CFR 878.4040 and under FDA product code FYB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 420310.

UNSPSC 42131607 Medical staff jackets or coats (Commodity) describes institutional medical and safety apparel, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted during the first half of 2026 are for incontinence briefs and suicide-prevention textiles — neither of which are medical staff jackets or coats. This mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or that the code has drifted in practice to capture a broader category of institutional medical and protective garments. State and local issuing bodies applying this code include state-operated veterans facilities and county corrections departments.

Activity under this code appears sparse. The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy posted a solicitation (27497DVAQUINCB51676) due May 1, 2026, seeking TENA brand incontinence briefs on an as-needed basis for fiscal year 2027 under an RFQ framework with a potential ten-year contract term. Barrow County, Georgia posted a solicitation (46700GDC0001193) due February 23, 2026, for suicide blankets and suicide smocks through an IFB process with a one-year base term and up to four one-year renewals. Both opportunities specify FOB destination delivery and do not include set-aside designations. The geographic spread across Illinois and Georgia suggests scattered activity rather than concentrated demand, and the two recent opportunities do not support a clear pattern of work actually being solicited under this code's nominal medical staff apparel scope.
