UNSPSC 42281511: Sterilization lamps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as lamps associated with the sterilization process in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42281511 Sterilization lamps (Commodity) covers maintenance, inspection, calibration, and repair services for laboratory sterilization equipment including autoclaves and associated components, rather than lamp products alone. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily municipal departments managing laboratory and healthcare facilities, along with state-level administrative and enterprise asset management offices. The City of Orlando issues recurring sole-source service-plan notices for laboratory sterilizer maintenance through its Water Reclamation Enterprises and Purchasing departments, establishing Getinge USA Sales LLC as the incumbent vendor while opening challenge-submission windows to alternative suppliers. Service scope includes original equipment manufacturer replacement parts, accessories, field service escalation, preventative maintenance, scheduled and unscheduled service calls, and compliance with FDA 510K and ISO 13485 standards; technicians must hold current CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent autoclave certification with at least one year of hands-on experience.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Oregon. The City of Orlando (Orange County, Florida) posted sole-source notices for laboratory sterilizer service plans with challenge deadlines of August 12, 2026 (S26-0554) and March 11, 2024 (S24-0246), both through Javarie McDonald at the Purchasing Agent II level. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services issued an RFP (S1070000017047) on June 16, 2026 for annual autoclave and associated equipment inspection, calibration, and repair services at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville, with proposals due August 17, 2026, a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million, and a 5% Oregon-fabricated preference; contract is renewable in two-year increments. A fourth posting from Sourcewell (Minnesota) and a California biosafety-cabinet solicitation appear unrelated to sterilization-lamp maintenance and repair activity.
