UNSPSC 42141608: Bedpan liners or bags

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that acts as a liner or portable lining for bedpans that provide toileting of a bedridden patient. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 481890.

UNSPSC 42141608 Bedpan liners or bags, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The two most recent solicitations—RFP20260825 from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance services and Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment—fall outside the scope of disposable or reusable bedpan liners or bags that the code nominally describes. The occupational medical surveillance opportunity involves physician-led occupational health examinations for ferry system employees across 14 Washington State locations, with a two-year contract term and optional five-year extensions, while the law enforcement equipment solicitation is a cooperative purchasing vehicle administered by Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota counties and other jurisdictions nationwide. Neither opportunity involves procurement of bedpan liners or bags or related healthcare consumables.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope. State and local governments may source bedpan liners under this code through broader healthcare supplies, medical equipment, or janitorial/sanitation family codes, or through cooperative purchasing agreements with healthcare group-buying organizations, but the posted opportunities do not reflect procurement matching the code's nominal product category.
