UNSPSC 42131702 Single-use Surgical gowns is a Commodity code that covers disposable surgical protective garments procured by state and local health systems, hospitals, and public health agencies. State and local governments buy single-use surgical gowns for operating rooms, sterile procedure environments, and clinical settings where infection control and worker protection require barrier garments that meet ANSI/AAMI standards and are disposed of after each use rather than laundered and reused. The code reflects baseline procurement for routine hospital operations and emergency surge capacity — particularly acute following supply-chain disruptions and shifts in infection-control protocols.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted solicitation activity, issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, and representative recent RFP or IFB details cannot be characterized from available data. Buyers in this space include state health departments, county hospitals, municipal health systems, and independent hospital districts, but the absence of recent opportunities limits visibility into current demand patterns, pricing tiers, or procurement timing across jurisdictions.
