UNSPSC 42132301: Insecticide-treated bed net

An insecticide-treated bed net is a type of mosquito net that has been treated with insecticides, typically a pyrethroid insecticide. The insecticide is usually applied to the netting material through a process called impregnation, which involves soaking the net in a solution of the insecticide.

UNSPSC 42132301 Insecticide-treated bed net is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment and a Chatham County, Georgia solicitation for Mercury outboard motors—bear no relationship to insecticide-treated bed nets, and the code does not appear to reflect actual buying patterns in state and local government markets. Bed nets are typically procured by public health departments, international development agencies, and nonprofits focused on disease prevention; the opportunities in the source indicate a tagging or data classification error rather than a genuine market signal under this code.

No substantive state and local procurement activity supporting insecticide-treated bed nets is evident in the available recent solicitation record. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment if pursuing opportunities in malaria prevention, public health equipment, or disease control supplies with state and local health agencies or special-purpose districts.
