UNSPSC 42192807 Pharmaceutical waste containers is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect pharmaceutical waste containment procurement; instead, they capture medical equipment acquisitions spanning ultrasound systems, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment, and emergency medical infusion devices. State and local buyers—including Valencia College (Florida), San Mateo County Medical Center (California), Hillsborough County (Florida), Marion County (Florida), and a multistate cooperative (Sourcewell)—are soliciting these items through RFPs, ITBs, and sole-source notices, but none involve pharmaceutical waste containers or hazardous waste disposal services.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with one multistate cooperative vehicle. The most recent solicitations include San Mateo County's RFP for surgical power equipment (due May 28, 2026) and ventilator maintenance services (due June 12, 2026, estimated contract value $140,225), Hillsborough County's ITB for Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance (due June 12, 2026), Marion County's procurement for Vidacare EZ-IO infusion systems (due May 11, 2026), and Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities nationwide (due June 16, 2026). The code does not currently reflect substantive state and local procurement demand for pharmaceutical waste containers themselves; buyers pursuing this commodity should verify whether issuing bodies are classifying waste-management contracts under different UNSPSC families or whether waste-containment demand is being sourced through standing contracts or cooperative agreements not reflected in recent open solicitations.
