UNSPSC 42281913: Sterilization tubing

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as tubing associated with the sterilization process in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Sterilization tubing under 21 CFR 880.6850 and under FDA product code FRG. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42281913 Sterilization tubing, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically for this product line. The code's nominal scope — sterilization tubing used in medical, laboratory, or industrial sterilization processes — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP for biohazard clean-up and sanitation services (RFP No. 2026-RFP-00032, due November 14, 2025) addresses biohazard waste disposal and decontamination but does not specify sterilization tubing as a deliverable. The Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the Texas SMART Buy cooperative-purchasing framework (Solicitation 260903, due October 16, 2026) similarly show no connection to sterilization tubing procurement. The Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) operates as a statewide cooperative vehicle for multiple jurisdictions but does not reference tubing products.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not support a current business development focus. The recent opportunities attributed to it span biohazard remediation, occupational health services, and law enforcement equipment — none of which centers on sterilization tubing supply. Without evidence of active solicitations for sterilization tubing from state departments, county purchasing offices, school districts, transit authorities, or other state and local bodies, the code presents as a low-activity segment. Vendors serving this product line should monitor future postings directly rather than rely on recent state and local demand signals.
