UNSPSC 42141603: Emesis basin or bag or bag dispenser

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that used a basin used by bedridden patients for vomiting. US FDA regulates Emesis basins under 21 CFR 880.6730 and under FDA product code FNY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392490.

UNSPSC 42141603 Emesis basin or bag or bag dispenser is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The two recent opportunities posted show little alignment with the code's nominal scope of vomit collection containers. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, issued RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services — baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations in Washington state. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington and numerous other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Neither solicitation involves medical waste containers or emesis collection equipment.

The code shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities on record appear to have been tagged to this UNSPSC code in error — one addresses occupational health services delivery and the other addresses law enforcement equipment procurement through cooperative purchasing — neither of which falls within the scope of emesis containers or bag dispensers. Vendors evaluating this code should treat the posting history as a signal of low or dormant demand and monitor for correction or reclassification of the misfiled opportunities.
