UNSPSC 42281900: Sterilization wraps and packaging supplies

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in Sterilization wrapping and packaging based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42281900 Sterilization wraps and packaging supplies is a Class code that encompasses materials used to contain, protect, and sterilize medical equipment and biohazardous materials during storage, transport, and decontamination. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily through law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, public health departments, and county sheriffs' offices that handle biohazardous waste, evidence storage, and facility sanitation. The recent opportunities show demand for supplies integrated into broader biohazard remediation and occupational health programs rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP for biohazard clean-up and sanitation services (RFP 2026-RFP-00032, due November 7, 2025) includes decontamination and sanitation across evidence bureaus and correctional facilities where sterilization wraps and packaging are core materials, while the Washington State Department of Transportation medical surveillance RFP addresses occupational exposure protocols where such supplies support compliance with bloodborne pathogen and hazmat handling standards.

Recent activity is sparse and geographically limited. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office remains the most concrete recent buyer, soliciting comprehensive biohazard services across unincorporated San Mateo County and contracted municipalities including Woodside, Portola Valley, San Carlos, Half Moon Bay, and Millbrae in California. The Texas SMART Buy cooperative-purchasing framework (Solicitation 260903, due October 16, 2026) is a prospective vendor registration under a statewide vehicle with no defined scope or quantities stated; the WSDOT medical surveillance procurement and Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative do not meaningfully align with sterilization wraps and packaging supplies. The code shows minimal direct recent solicitation activity—no bids are explicitly for sterilization wraps, packaging, or related supplies as standalone line items—suggesting state and local procurement in this category flows primarily through broader service contracts, existing master agreements, or smaller routine purchases not individually advertised.
