UNSPSC 42132206: Surgical dusting powders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a powder used on the skin or on wounds especially for allaying irritation or absorbing moisture in a surgical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 340220.

UNSPSC 42132206 Surgical dusting powders is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect purchases of surgical dusting powders or medical supplies. Instead, Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a cooperative purchasing contract for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple jurisdictions including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus numerous other public entities across the United States and Canada. The scope encompasses law enforcement gear broadly, available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public sector bodies. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of surgical dusting powders.

The single recent opportunity is a Sourcewell cooperative procurement administered through Minnesota but operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), with response submissions required exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. No set-aside designations, specific budget ranges, or incumbent vendor information was disclosed in available solicitation materials. Vendors seeking details must access the portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov and may direct procurement questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The cooperative vehicle structure allows selected vendors to serve a broad cross-section of public-sector customers under standardized contracting terms, but the fundamental mismatch between the code's medical-supply designation and the law-enforcement focus of the posted opportunity signals this Commodity code does not currently track active surgical dusting powder demand at the state and local level.
