UNSPSC 42281518: Sterilization cannula bars

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject or extract liquids or sediment associated with a sterilization procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42281518 Sterilization cannula bars, a Commodity code, encompasses laboratory sterilization equipment service and maintenance solutions procured by state and local health, research, and administrative agencies. Recent state and local opportunities reveal that the code is being applied to autoclave maintenance, calibration, inspection, and field service contracts rather than to the discrete cannula-bar component the code's nominal title suggests. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include city departments (City of Orlando Water Reclamation Enterprises), state health and administrative agencies (State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell). The scope of work centers on original equipment manufacturer replacement parts, preventative and corrective maintenance, annual calibration and certification, field service escalation, complaint handling compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 803 regulations, and technician certification requirements (CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent). Service levels include scheduled maintenance, emergency response within 24 hours for critical failures, and performance tracking against response-time and first-time-fix metrics.

The most recent activity clusters in Florida and Oregon. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS SPS) issued an RFP for annual autoclave and associated equipment inspection, calibration, and repair services on behalf of DAS Enterprise Asset Management, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026, covering five autoclaves and one cart assembly at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville with a not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million. The City of Orlando Water Reclamation Enterprises issued two sole-source notices for laboratory sterilizer service plans (S26-0554, posted August 12, 2026, and S24-0246, posted March 4, 2024), both identifying Getinge USA Sales LLC as the incumbent source and open to challenge submissions within seven calendar days. A California State RFB (RFB-IS-26200890) for STERILGARD Biosafety Cabinets with a May 11, 2026 deadline also appears tagged under this code, though it addresses cabinet procurement rather than sterilization cannula components. Getinge USA Sales LLC emerges as the incumbent vendor across multiple City of Orlando engagements, holding continuous FDA 510K clearance and ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certification since 2006.
