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 covers protective wrapping and containment materials used in medical sterilization and related healthcare preparation processes. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily through their health departments, public hospitals, and medical facilities that perform surgical procedures and require sterilization-compliant packaging for instruments and equipment. The issuing-body mix is dominated by state health agencies and county public-health systems, along with municipal hospitals and regional medical centers that maintain their own surgical and sterilization capabilities.

Recent state and local activity under this code is sparse. The single recent opportunity in the source — Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026 — is tagged to law enforcement equipment procurement and does not represent genuine sterilization-wrap procurement; the mismatch suggests the code received a nominal or administrative tag rather than reflecting actual buying intent. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle does span multiple jurisdictions (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with unnamed other states and Canadian entities), but the underlying solicitation addresses law enforcement supplies, not sterilization materials. Without additional recent opportunities clearly aligned to the code's actual scope, this code shows minimal documented state and local procurement activity as of mid-2026.
