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 under which state and local governments procure autoclaves, biosafety cabinets, and associated sterilization and cleaning equipment, along with inspection, maintenance, calibration, and repair services for those assets. Recent solicitations reflect demand for both equipment procurement and the full lifecycle support services—preventive maintenance, emergency repair, certification, and parts delivery—that keep sterilization systems operational in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and animal research environments. Issuing bodies span state health and administrative agencies, county water authorities, large academic medical centers, and independent school districts. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, and the Macon Water Authority in Georgia have all posted autoclave-related opportunities in the recent cycle, indicating active procurement across geographically dispersed jurisdictions and facility types.

Opportunities concentrate in Oregon, California, Texas, and Georgia, with cooperative purchasing mechanisms extending reach across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services issued an RFP (due August 17, 2026) for annual autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services covering five autoclaves at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville, with a $5 million not-to-exceed compensation and a 5% Oregon-made preference; technicians must hold current CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent certification with at least one year of hands-on experience. The State of California issued an RFB (due May 11, 2026) for STERILGARD Biosafety Cabinets with compliance to detailed technical specifications including HEPA filtration and airflow testing, with CBE set-aside or preference consideration under California's disadvantaged-business program. MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas posted an RFP (due February 24, 2026) for preventive maintenance and repair of cage washers, glass washers, and autoclaves, requiring manufacturer-certified technicians, 2-hour response during business hours, and 1-hour emergency response. The Macon Water Authority in Georgia solicited a single new 3870EAP autoclave unit via IFB (due March 10, 2026), with 2-year parts and labor warranty and 10-year chamber warranty included.
