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 encompasses sterile transport and containment products used in healthcare, law enforcement, and laboratory settings—specifically pouches, containers, and related equipment designed to maintain controlled atmospheres while transporting contaminated or soiled instruments. State and local governments acquire these products through healthcare procurement offices, law enforcement equipment vendors, school district facilities management, and specialized medical supply channels. The scope includes single-use and reusable transport containers, moisture-barrier materials, and related accessories that meet infection control and evidence-handling standards. Issuing bodies span state health departments, county sheriff offices, city police departments, independent school districts with healthcare or training programs, and regional medical authorities purchasing on behalf of multiple facilities.

Recent activity shows limited direct alignment with this code's nominal scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions nationwide, but the available documentation does not confirm whether soiled instrument transport pouches are included in the procurement specification. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted RFP #26-101 on April 17, 2026 (response due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources spanning 17 CTE program areas and specialized equipment; this opportunity addresses instructional supplies and equipment rather than medical or forensic transport containers. The code shows minimal recent documented activity aligned with its core product definition, suggesting either narrow demand concentration or misclassification in recent state and local postings.
