UNSPSC 42241505 Orthopedic casting rolls or tapes, a Commodity code, covers medical supply products that state and local health, emergency response, and public safety agencies procure as consumables for patient care and first aid operations. Recent solicitations show the code purchasing medical supply assortments for first responders and hospital systems — bundled supplies that include bandaging, wound care, airway equipment, and other emergency medical consumables rather than casting materials alone. Issuing bodies span fire departments, city health services, and regional cooperative purchasing arrangements. The City of Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, the City of Dallas, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit procuring on behalf of participating public entities across multiple states and Canada including Washington, California, and other jurisdictions) have each solicited under the code in the recent period.

Recent opportunities include the City of Tampa's March 2026 invitation to bid for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for its Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000, designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and carrying a 5% SLBE bid discount not to exceed $10,000; the City of Dallas's May 2026 informal solicitation (IFB) for a Tramedic Cabinet Kit due May 14, 2026; and Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Sourcewell's multi-state and cross-border scope reaching significantly beyond individual municipal or county boundaries.
