UNSPSC 42131701: Adult Surgical drapes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a drape in a surgical setting for adults. US FDA regulates surgical drapes under 21 CFR 878.4370 and under FDA product code ERY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 630790.

UNSPSC 42131701 Adult Surgical drapes is a Commodity code that describes medical textiles used in operating rooms and surgical settings, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with surgical drapes themselves. The two recent opportunities on record — a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment and a Denton County ITB for pipes and drapes systems for emergency shelter and disaster response — fall outside the code's nominal surgical scope. The Sourcewell RFP establishes a contracting solution for law enforcement gear available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, while the Denton County procurement seeks temporary shelter infrastructure including privacy screens, sound-absorbing drapes, entrance ways, and ground mats with 24/7 deployment readiness for emergency operations. This code shows minimal recent activity in its actual product category and appears to be misaligned with current state and local purchasing patterns in these records.

Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota's local government unit, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with responses due June 16, 2026, targeting Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with public entities nationwide and in Canada. Denton County, Texas issued ITB #25-2888 on April 3, 2026 with bids due April 23, 2026, requiring 24-hour mobilization of equipment and personnel for emergency operations under FEMA and federal labor compliance. Neither opportunity relates to surgical drapes or medical textile procurement. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as showing little current relevant activity for surgical supplies and verify coding against actual medical-supply solicitations.
