UNSPSC 42281715: Soiled instrument moist atmosphere transport pouch

Water proof peel pack designed to maintain moist environment for isolation of soiled instruments and transport to decontamination and reprocessing areas.

UNSPSC 42281715 Soiled instrument moist atmosphere transport pouch is a Commodity code that describes specialized medical transport containers for contaminated surgical instruments and medical equipment. State and local governments procure these pouches through medical supply vendors and cooperative purchasing agreements to support hospital sterilization programs, surgical centers, and infection control operations. The code sees activity primarily through statewide medical supply contracts and cooperative purchasing consortiums that aggregate demand across multiple public agencies and health systems. Issuing bodies include state health departments, state procurement offices administering cooperative vehicles, and participating public health entities purchasing through framework agreements.

Recent solicitation activity centers on cooperative purchasing agreements rather than single-jurisdiction direct buys. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (Solicitation Number NVP1433), posted by Texas on behalf of Idaho state agencies and other participating NASPO ValuePoint members with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes medical supply pricing and distribution through a framework contract covering multiple product categories including specialized transport containers. The Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) represents a broader cooperative procurement but does not directly target soiled instrument transport pouches. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with Idaho and Washington as recent focus areas through cooperative mechanisms. Vendors pursuing this code should expect multi-tier purchasing structures in which initial cooperative contracts establish pricing and terms, with individual agencies then ordering against the framework based on departmental needs and budgets. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell dominate recent posting activity; direct state or local bids for soiled instrument pouches appear limited in the current opportunity set.
