UNSPSC 42142121: Moist steam cabinets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product intended for medical purposes that delivers a flow of heated, moisturized air to a patient in an enclosed unit. US FDA regulates moist steam cabinets under 21 CFR 890.5250 and under FDA product code IMB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940320.

UNSPSC 42142121 Moist steam cabinets, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code cover outpatient building furniture, medical rehabilitation equipment, law enforcement gear, and athletic supplies—none of which align with the purchase or deployment of moist steam cabinets. The apparent mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source data or a shift in how this code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. The California Health and Human Services Agency posted an RFB for outpatient building furniture (RFB-IS-27200168, due October 6, 2026) with a CBE certification requirement, but the specification attachments are not detailed in the available summary. Lamar University in Texas issued an IFB for a Computerized Dynamic Posturography system (IFB 734-05202026-AS, due June 18, 2026), and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District solicited athletic and conditioning equipment supplies through an RFP (line item ASCP0526, due May 4, 2026)—neither of which involves steam cabinet procurement.

Without recent solicitations showing actual moist steam cabinet demand from state and local buyers, the current activity level under this code cannot be characterized reliably. The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans California, Texas, and the Washington-Minnesota cooperative network through Sourcewell, but this geographic data does not reflect true market demand for the commodity itself. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local health departments, universities, school districts, or other institutional buyers are issuing separate solicitations for steam cabinets under different UNSPSC codes or procurement channels not captured in this dataset, or whether demand for this product line under state and local contracts remains minimal.
