UNSPSC 42281700: Disinfecting or presterilization cleaning equipment and solutions

In this classification, this class includes, equipment, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in disinfecting or presterilization based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42281700 Disinfecting or presterilization cleaning equipment and solutions is a Class code covering laboratory sterilization and biosafety equipment, maintenance services, and associated consumables that state and local governments procure for healthcare facilities, public health laboratories, and administrative operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services; laboratory sterilizer preventative maintenance and OEM parts; biosafety cabinet equipment; and field service support with technician certification and compliance reporting. The issuing-body mix spans state health and administrative agencies (Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State of California), city procurement offices (City of Orlando), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-county and multi-jurisdictional consortia (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington and other western counties).

Activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and California, with recent solicitations from Oregon (annual autoclave and associated equipment inspection, calibration, and repair services, RFP S1070000017047, proposals due August 17, 2026), California (STERILGARD biosafety cabinets, Request for Bid RFB-IS-26200890, proposals due May 11, 2026), and Florida (City of Orlando, sole-source notices for laboratory sterilizer service plans S26-0554 and S24-0246). Oregon's RFP with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million, renewable in two-year increments, requires technicians to hold current CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent certification and at least one year hands-on autoclave experience; 4 annual maintenance and inspections and 1 annual calibration per unit are specified. California's biosafety cabinet procurement includes Certified Business Enterprise set-aside consideration. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626, proposals due June 16, 2026) frames law enforcement equipment but represents a broader cooperative contracting vehicle available to participating public entities across multiple states.
