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, yet the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it does not involve bed nets or any medical or public health consumables. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a cooperative purchasing agreement for law enforcement equipment—a scope entirely outside the nominal code definition. The solicitation closes June 16, 2026 and targets thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. This cooperative procurement vehicle allows participating jurisdictions to leverage collective buying power under standardized contracting terms through Sourcewell's framework agreement, but the actual goods being solicited bear no relation to insecticide-treated bed nets.

The mismatch between the code and the opportunity indicates either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or an outdated UNSPSC assignment within Sourcewell's posting. No other recent opportunities appear in the source block under this code. State and local buyers pursuing work in insect-control supplies, malaria prevention, or public health consumables should verify UNSPSC coding directly with the issuing body and avoid relying on this code as a search filter for genuinely relevant opportunities.
