UNSPSC 42281809: Sterilization record storage envelopes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a record storage envelope associated with the sterilization process in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Sterilization record storage envelopes under 21 CFR 880.6850 and under FDA product code KCT. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42281809 Sterilization record storage envelopes, a Commodity code, shows no concrete recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code describe biohazard cleanup and sanitation services (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP 2026RFP00032), a statewide cooperative-purchasing framework for industrial equipment and chemicals (Texas SMART Buy), occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP20260825), and law enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell RFP 061626). None of these solicitations address sterilization record storage envelopes as a product category or purchasing focus; the tagging appears to reflect a mismatch between the code's intended scope and what state and local procurement offices are actually buying under it.

Without recent opportunities reflecting the code's core commodity — specialized envelopes for sterilization records in healthcare, laboratory, or industrial settings — no actionable pattern emerges regarding issuing-body concentration, geographic clusters, or market opportunity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify directly with state and local procurement systems whether sterilization record storage envelopes appear as a line item in active RFPs, RFQs, or standing cooperative agreements, or whether the code has fallen into disuse as a procurement classification for this product type.
