UNSPSC 42141605: Medical mixing or solution basins or bowls

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either a basin or bowl used for mixing solutions in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical mixing or solution basins or bowls under 21 CFR 880.6730 and under FDA product code FNP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392410.

UNSPSC 42141605 Medical mixing or solution basins or bowls is a Commodity code that captures specialized medical supplies and equipment purchased by state and local health agencies, social-service institutions, and transportation departments to support occupational health programs, harm reduction initiatives, and direct patient care. The recent opportunities posted under this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope (basins and bowls) and the actual work being bought: state and local procurement offices are tagging occupational medical surveillance services, harm reduction supplies (injection and smoking equipment, wound care products), and specialized medical equipment (feeding tubes, catheters, IV devices, SpO2 sensors) under this commodity code. The issuing bodies soliciting under it span state health and social-service agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries division, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county public-health departments (Boulder County Public Health), and state-supported living centers. None of the three recent opportunities involve basins or bowls; the code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Washington, and Colorado based on the three most-recent postings. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and anticipated contract award by November 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026 for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026 and a contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. Boulder County Public Health posted RFQ PHI00326 on August 10, 2026 for harm reduction supplies vendors, with responses due September 11, 2026. Bidders pursuing this code should verify whether the actual commodity they supply—basins, bowls, or other items—aligns with the issuing body's tagging before investing heavily; the code appears misapplied to the recent opportunities surfaced.
