UNSPSC 42141503 Skin preparation wipes, a Commodity code, encompasses antiseptic and cleansing products for pre-procedure or pre-treatment skin preparation sourced by law enforcement, fire rescue, animal control, and other public-sector operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying skin preparation and related wound-care supplies as part of broader medical, first aid, and veterinary pharmaceutical procurement. The issuing bodies include city fire departments, county animal shelters, regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell), and law enforcement agencies operating across multiple jurisdictions. Scope of work reflects consumable medical supply chains — first aid kits and antiseptic sprays for emergency response, veterinary topical preparations for animal shelter operations, and law enforcement medical equipment for field response — rather than capital equipment or durable goods.

Activity concentrates in the Southwest and South, with recent opportunities posted by Sourcewell (serving Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima as well as broader multi-state participation), the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department in Florida, and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline targets law enforcement equipment across participating entities. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25-P-00157 on April 24, 2026 for medical aid supplies including antiseptic sprays and bandages, with a $100,000 total department budget and set-asides for Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering bid discounts up to $20,000.
