UNSPSC 42281512: Sterilization lids

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

UNSPSC 42281512 Sterilization lids (Commodity) covers laboratory sterilizer service parts, maintenance plans, and associated equipment support that state and local governments procure for healthcare facilities, water reclamation departments, and administrative asset management operations. Recent solicitations show that buying agencies are acquiring original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts, accessories, preventative maintenance plans, inspection and calibration services, and field service support for autoclaves and laboratory sterilization equipment. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices (City of Orlando), state departments of administrative services (State of Oregon), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties). The work spans sole-source service agreements for incumbent vendors and competitive RFPs for annual maintenance, inspection, calibration, and emergency repair services with specified technician certifications and response-time guarantees.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon and Florida. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services issued an RFP (S1070000017047) due August 17, 2026 for annual autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville, with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million and a 5% Oregon-fabrication preference; the scope requires technicians to hold current CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent certification and maintain response times within 24 hours for critical failures. The City of Orlando Water Reclamation Enterprises Department posted two sole-source notices for laboratory sterilizer service plans (S26-0554, August 12, 2026 challenge deadline; S24-0246, March 11, 2024 deadline) naming Getinge USA Sales LLC as the exclusive source and inviting alternative suppliers to demonstrate equivalent capabilities. A fourth opportunity (Sourcewell RFP #061626, June 16, 2026) sought law enforcement equipment but does not appear directly relevant to sterilization equipment procurement; a fifth (California RFB RFB-IS-26200890, May 11, 2026) sought biosafety cabinets rather than sterilization lids or service parts.
