UNSPSC 42132303: Insecticide-treated fabric

Insecticide-treated fabric is a type of textile that has been treated with insecticides to repel or kill insects, particularly mosquitoes. The insecticide is typically a pyrethroid insecticide, which is applied to the fabric using a variety of methods, such as impregnation, spraying, or dipping.

UNSPSC 42132303 Insecticide-treated fabric (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The seven recent opportunities tagged under this code—spanning laser equipment for surgical operating rooms, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment, intraosseous infusion systems, career technical education resources, ultrasound machines, and spinal implants—do not involve insecticide-treated fabric or any textile products treated with insecticides. The code appears misapplied across diverse medical, educational, and public safety procurement categories, suggesting a systematic tagging error or database classification issue rather than meaningful demand for the commodity itself.

No state or local government procurement under this code is currently active or recently closed with a concrete response date. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for contracting purposes and verify UNSPSC classification if pursuing textile-based medical or safety products. The recent opportunities listed reflect procurement by San Mateo County (California), Hillsborough County (Florida), Marion County (Florida), Klein Independent School District (Texas), Valencia College (Florida), and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, but none of these solicitations involve insecticide-treated fabric as specified under the code's nominal definition.
