UNSPSC 42131700: Surgical textiles

In this classification, this class includes textile based clothing, furnishings, and peripheral components, involved in a surgical setting.

UNSPSC 42131700 Surgical textiles is a Class code that encompasses occupational health and medical examination services, textiles used in medical and clinical settings, and related diagnostic and surveillance equipment — though recent state and local opportunities under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state transportation departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional consortia. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), acting on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is the primary recent buyer, procuring occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington locations.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Washington State, with secondary representation through multi-state cooperative purchasing. WSDOT issued RFP 20260825 for WSF medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities in Washington and throughout the United States and Canada, though this solicitation appears tangential to the surgical textiles code classification. The WSDOT opportunity emphasizes cost-based evaluation (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability) with a two-year initial term and optional five one-year extensions, requiring a physician board-certified in occupational medicine to perform or supervise all examinations and deliver results within 60 days of completion.
