UNSPSC 42131707: Surgical isolation suit or helmet or shield

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used in a surgical setting. US FDA regulates surgical isolation suits or helmets or shields or accessories under 21 CFR 878.4040 and under FDA product code FYA. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 630790.

UNSPSC 42131707 Surgical isolation suit or helmet or shield is a Commodity code covering protective headgear and body coverings used in medical, occupational, and law enforcement contexts. State and local governments procure these items through both direct purchases and cooperative-purchasing master-agreement vehicles. The code spans surgical-grade isolation equipment, occupational protective helmets, and restraint systems with integrated head protection, with issuing bodies including state transportation departments, city police agencies, and multi-state cooperative purchasing consortia.

Recent activity shows modest but geographically dispersed procurement. NASPO ValuePoint, the multi-state cooperative purchasing entity administered by South Dakota, posted RFP 1433 for medical supplies with an November 9, 2026 response deadline, seeking to establish master agreements across state and local entities nationwide. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 through Washington State Ferries for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), requiring occupational-medicine oversight and baseline and periodic medical examinations at 14 ferry terminals across Washington State, though this opportunity emphasizes medical service delivery rather than protective equipment itself. Salt Lake City Corporation's Purchasing & Contracts Division solicited 75 WRAP Safety Restraints with Protective Helmets for its Police Department under RFQ REQ-00004213 (due June 9, 2026), and Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating counties across Washington and multiple other states. The recent-opportunities block contains limited detail on contract values, incumbent vendors, or specific equipment specifications beyond the helmet and restraint purchase; the code's activity appears concentrated in cooperative purchasing vehicles and police department procurement in the Mountain West and Pacific Northwest.
