UNSPSC 42281534: Sterilization filters for sterilization instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as filters for instruments associated with the sterilization process in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 841920.

UNSPSC 42281534 Sterilization filters for sterilization instruments is a Commodity code that covers replacement and consumable filtration components used in equipment sterilization processes across state and local government facilities. State and local procurement activity under this code appears limited based on recent publicly posted opportunities. The one recent solicitation tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—does not align with sterilization filtration scope; the law enforcement equipment solicitation encompasses body armor, tactical gear, vehicles, and related items rather than medical or laboratory sterilization supplies. This mismatch suggests either mis-tagging by the issuing body or a very narrow application of sterilization filters within law enforcement contexts (such as gas mask or air-handling sterilization) that does not reflect typical state and local demand for the commodity.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota state cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued the law enforcement equipment RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with proposals due June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington and numerous public entities nationwide. The structure allows selected vendors to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations under a single framework agreement. No other sterilization-filter-specific opportunities appear in the recent record, limiting visibility into active state and local demand for this commodity or the issuing-body mix that typically procures such supplies.
