UNSPSC 42142102: Medical cold storage chilling units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provides cold storage and chilling capability in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical cold storage chilling units or accessories under 21 CFR 890.5940 and under FDA product code IMF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 841850.

UNSPSC 42142102 Medical cold storage chilling units (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent activity aligned to the code's scope. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative catalog-discount bid for special education supplies, a Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for durable medical equipment and services across eleven categories, a California Department of Health Services request for SciFit Pro2 exercise equipment, an athletic training services RFP from the City of Tucson, a Sourcewell cooperative for law enforcement equipment, and a Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District solicitation for athletic and conditioning supplies—span educational equipment, law enforcement gear, athletic training services, and general DME without specific reference to refrigeration or cold storage units. The code itself nominates medical-grade chilling and refrigeration equipment used in clinical and laboratory settings, but the recent solicitation record does not support active procurement of that specific commodity type by state and local bodies.

No concrete recent opportunities for medical cold storage chilling units are present in the available state and local contracting record. Vendors evaluating this code should monitor Texas (where HHSC and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative show recent DME and cooperative purchasing activity) and California (where health and human services procurement remains active) for clinical facility modernization, laboratory infrastructure, or blood-bank and vaccine-storage initiatives that might drive demand for specialized refrigeration. The code's modest activity and the mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent solicitations suggest limited current market engagement for this specific commodity at the state and local level.
