UNSPSC 42281801: Disinfectant test strips

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a disinfectant test strip in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Disinfectant test strips under 21 CFR 880.28 and under FDA product code JQJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 380894.

UNSPSC 42281801 Disinfectant test strips (Commodity) covers chemical testing and measurement products used primarily in biohazard remediation, facility sanitation, and occupational health monitoring within state and local operations. State and local governments procure these strips as consumable components within larger service contracts for infection control, evidence processing, and occupational safety compliance. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in three distinct operational contexts: biohazard cleanup and decontamination for law enforcement facilities, statewide cooperative-purchasing frameworks for industrial chemicals and supplies, and occupational medical surveillance programs. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices, state departments of transportation, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The code reflects demand from mid-sized law enforcement and transportation operations requiring chemical verification and compliance documentation as part of routine facility and employee safety protocols.

Recent activity spans California and Washington, with broader national reach through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office posted RFP 2026RFP00032 on October 8, 2026 (due November 14, 2025) seeking biohazard cleanup and sanitation services for evidence storage, correctional facilities, and law enforcement spaces—a contract structure where disinfectant test strips serve as verification consumables within the larger scope. The Texas SMART Buy program issued solicitation 260903 on September 3, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) as an open-ended cooperative framework for industrial and facility chemicals and supplies, accessible through the TIPS USA vendor portal; this vehicle reaches state agencies, counties, cities, and school districts across Texas and beyond. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026, where testing and documentation requirements may incorporate disinfectant verification. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026), reaches participating entities across multiple states including Washington and Minnesota, though this opportunity's relationship to the commodity code is less explicit.
