UNSPSC 42281915: Sterilization reels

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a reel associated with the sterilization process in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Sterilization reels under 21 CFR 880.6850 and under FDA product code FRG. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392690.

UNSPSC 42281915 Sterilization reels (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The code appears in a Texas SMART Buy framework notice posted September 3, 2026, which is a statewide cooperative-purchasing vehicle covering industrial and facility equipment, chemicals, supplies, and services broadly — a catch-all notice that does not specify sterilization reels or their application. The three other recent opportunities in the source (San Mateo County biohazard cleanup, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance, and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative) do not involve sterilization reels.

State and local procurement activity under this code has not produced visible recent solicitations with sterilization reels as a named deliverable or primary scope item. The Texas SMART Buy notice is the sole source indicating any potential use of sterilization-related commodities, but it requires vendors to consult the full TIPS USA portal for specific commodity codes, pricing, and category requirements — details not available in the posted summary. Without evidence of active state, county, municipal, or special-purpose district demand for sterilization reels as discrete procurements, the code warrants a watch posture rather than active pursuit.
