UNSPSC 42192403: Medical isolation carts

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an isolation cart used in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42192403 Medical isolation carts is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized equipment and supplies purchased by state and local health and human services agencies, primarily to support occupational health programs, emergency medical services, and institutional healthcare operations. The recent opportunities under this code reveal significant divergence from the code's nominal scope: state and local buyers are actually purchasing pharmacy benefit management services, occupational medical surveillance programs, emergency medical supplies for fire rescue, medication dispensing smart carts for nursing education, and miscellaneous maintenance parts and equipment through health and human services procurement channels. The issuing bodies include state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County, DeKalb County, Georgia), public college systems (SUNY Rockland Community College), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The work being solicited does not consistently align with medical isolation carts as a product category; instead, the code appears to capture a broader range of health-related equipment and services acquisitions.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Washington State, Florida, and Georgia, with a cooperative purchasing initiative through Sourcewell drawing from participating entities across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017729 for miscellaneous maintenance and parts supplies (including utility carts, eyewash stations, and other equipment) with bids due September 14, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; DeKalb County's sealed-bid solicitation PE64400NONST2026000000274 for emergency medical supplies to fire rescue with bids due September 17, 2026; and SUNY Rockland Community College's RFB RFBRCC2026014 for a medication dispensing smart cart with bids due July 16, 2026. The code shows recent procurement activity but limited direct correlation between the nominal commodity and the actual work being tagged and solicited.
