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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure sterilization and autoclave equipment, inspection and maintenance services, and related laboratory sterilization infrastructure. Recent solicitations show that the code captures purchases spanning both equipment and ongoing maintenance contracts for autoclave sterilizers and associated biosafety systems, though the recent activity mixes direct equipment procurement with service contracts that include equipment components. The issuing bodies reflect a broad cross-section of state and local buyers: the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services for annual autoclave maintenance and inspection services; the State of California for biosafety cabinet equipment; the Macon Water Authority in Georgia for a new autoclave unit; MD Anderson Cancer Center (a healthcare facility in Texas) for equipment maintenance; and Klein ISD in Texas for career and technical education resources (which appears tangentially related to the code's equipment scope). Activity spans state procurement offices, local government utilities, healthcare systems, and educational institutions.

Geographic concentration centers on California, Oregon, and Texas based on recent postings, with secondary activity in Georgia. Representative opportunities include the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services RFP (posted June 16, 2026, due August 17, 2026) for annual autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services at five units with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million; the State of California RFB-IS-26200890 (posted April 23, 2026, due May 11, 2026) for STERILGARD Biosafety Cabinets with technical specification compliance requirements and CBE set-aside considerations; and the Macon Water Authority sealed invitation for bid (posted February 5, 2026, due March 10, 2026) for one new 3870EAP Large Capacity Manual Sterilizer with delivery requirements and warranty terms. The code shows steady state and local purchasing activity across equipment acquisition and multi-year maintenance contracts, with Oregon and California representing the most recent higher-value solicitations.
