UNSPSC 42281529 Dry heat or hot air sterilizer accessories, a Commodity code, represents service plans, maintenance contracts, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts and accessories for laboratory sterilization equipment. State and local governments procure under this code preventative maintenance agreements, field service escalation programs, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, performance monitoring, and certified technician support for autoclave and sterilizer equipment.

Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments, state procurement services, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions.
