UNSPSC 42141609: Bedpan covers

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

UNSPSC 42141609 Bedpan covers (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code is Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, which solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle. This opportunity does not reflect bedpan-cover procurement and represents a mismatch between the code assigned and the work actually being bought. The RFP establishes a contracting solution for law enforcement gear available to state and local governments, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative.

The Sourcewell RFP encompasses participating entities in Washington state — Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County — alongside numerous other jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada, but the law enforcement equipment focus bears no relation to medical supply procurement under the bedpan-cover code. The absence of substantive recent opportunities in the source for actual bedpan covers or related medical consumables suggests this code sees limited or no current state and local solicitation activity. Firms evaluating this code should treat the recent activity signal as a null result and monitor whether future medical supply or hospital-equipment solicitations emerge with the correct UNSPSC assignment.
