UNSPSC 42280000: Medical cleaning and sterilization products

In this classification, this family includes the products used in the portion of medical interactions that involve medical cleaning and sterilization based procedures.

UNSPSC 42280000 Medical cleaning and sterilization products is a Family code encompassing maintenance services, spare parts, and equipment for laboratory and medical sterilization systems. State and local governments buy under this code primarily preventative maintenance plans, repair services, calibration and certification work, and original equipment manufacturer replacement parts for autoclave and sterilization equipment used in public health, laboratory, and clinical settings. Issuing bodies include city and county purchasing departments (particularly water reclamation and public health divisions), state departments of administrative services, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions. The City of Orlando's Water Reclamation Enterprises Department has issued two sole-source service notices for laboratory sterilizer maintenance under this code in recent months, indicating repeat demand for specialized OEM sterilization equipment support.

Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services posted an RFP on June 16, 2026, due August 17, 2026, for annual autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services for five units at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million, requiring CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent certification and 24-hour emergency response capability. The City of Orlando issued a sole-source notice (S26-0554) on August 12, 2026, for a service plan covering OEM replacement parts, accessories, and authorized service for laboratory sterilization equipment, with challenge submissions due August 12, 2026 through Purchasing Agent Javarie McDonald. Minnesota's Office of State Procurement released a medical supplies RFP through the MMCAP cooperative purchasing consortium (Reference Number 37259) on June 11, 2026, with proposals due July 20, 2026, though specific sterilization product categories and quantities are contained in restricted RFP documents. The State of California solicited STERILGARD Biosafety Cabinets through RFB IS-26200890 with a May 11, 2026 deadline, incorporating CBE certification requirements.
