UNSPSC 42131615: Chemotherapy personal protective equipment

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that that is used as personal protective equipment in a chemotherapy procedural setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902750.

UNSPSC 42131615 Chemotherapy personal protective equipment (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The posted solicitations are tagged to this Commodity code but target respiratory protection equipment, fire department protective gear, first aid supplies, ballistic helmets and plate carriers, safety eyewear, and janitorial supplies—none of which fall within chemotherapy-specific PPE. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or deliberate use of a catch-all code for a broad emergency-response equipment family. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county sheriffs' departments, school districts, county fire rescue operations, city fire departments, and county health agencies across California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Recent issuing bodies include San Mateo County (respiratory protection for Sheriff's Office under IFB 2027IFB00042, bids due August 28, 2026), Pinellas County Schools (first aid supplies under ITB 25-CR-069, bids due November 20, 2025), Hillsborough County (bunker gear cleaning and maintenance under ITB 26-00380, estimated at $1,156,137 over two years, bids due September 10, 2026), the City of Santa Monica Fire Department (ballistic helmets and protective plates under ITB released July 1, 2026, bids due July 14, 2026), and Columbus Consolidated Government (protective fire clothing and accessories under RFB 27-0007, bids due October 14, 2026).

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County Schools, Seminole County) and California (San Mateo County, City of Santa Monica), with isolated postings from Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government) and state-level cooperative vehicles in Texas (Purchasing Cooperative of America RFP OD-451-26 for emergency responder equipment, proposals due October 27, 2026; Texas SMART Buy framework solicitation 260903 for industrial and facility equipment, proposals due October 16, 2026). The Purchasing Cooperative of America's RFP for emergency responder equipment is available nationally to PCA members. Fire department and emergency-response operations show the strongest concentration; Hillsborough County appears twice in the recent block (bunker gear maintenance and janitorial supplies for Fire Rescue at $765,679.84, bids due July 24, 2026). All recent opportunities are price-based awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with delivery typically within 10–14 days, and contracts typically include local-vendor or local-business preferences where applicable.
