UNSPSC 42141606: Medical multipurpose basins or sponge bowls

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that as a basin in various medical settings. US FDA regulates Medical multipurpose basins under 21 CFR 880.6730 and under FDA product code FNY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392410.

UNSPSC 42141606 Medical multipurpose basins or sponge bowls is a Commodity code that captures medical supplies and equipment procurement by state and local health agencies, though recent solicitations tagged under this code show only tangential relevance to the nominal product scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posted IFB HHS0017603 in July 2026 for medical supplies and equipment supporting the Abilene State Supported Living Center, covering specialized items such as gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and enteral feeding sets from vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson. The Nevada State Highway Patrol posted RFP 65DPSS3766 in March 2026 for phlebotomy services in Caliente—a service-delivery contract outside the medical supplies category entirely. The code sees activity from state health and human services agencies; issuing bodies include independent state health commissions and specialized state divisions procuring medical or clinical supplies and services for direct client care or regulatory compliance.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Texas and Nevada, with the Texas HHSC representing the most directly relevant recent activity. The HHSC solicitation (due July 30, 2026) structures procurement as a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with HHSC and the Department of State Health Services entitled to use any resulting contract; pricing is firm and fixed with adjustment permitted at HHSC's sole discretion based on CPI or Federal Minimum Wage changes. The Nevada phlebotomy solicitation (due April 1, 2026) awarded to Grover C. Dils Medical Center under contingent final negotiation and does not directly align with the medical basins and sponge bowls commodity scope. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall, and much of what is tagged to it reflects broader medical-equipment or healthcare-service procurement rather than the specific product category the UNSPSC designation implies.
