UNSPSC 42282010: Medical equipment and instrument disinfectant washing equipment

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a medically related equipment and instrument disinfectant washing equipment Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42282010 Medical equipment and instrument disinfectant washing equipment (Commodity) covers maintenance, inspection, calibration, and repair services for laboratory sterilization and disinfection equipment—primarily autoclaves and biosafety cabinets—rather than the equipment itself or chemical disinfectants. State and local governments procure annual or preventative maintenance plans, OEM parts and accessories, field service escalation, scheduled and unscheduled repair, and compliance certification (CRCST, CBSPD, or FDA 510K clearance) for sterilization equipment housed in laboratories, healthcare facilities, and state administrative complexes. Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing offices, state procurement services, and specialized departments such as water reclamation enterprises. Sole-source notices are common in this category, particularly when equipment is already installed and the incumbent OEM (such as Getinge USA Sales LLC) holds exclusive service certification or parts availability.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Oregon. The City of Orlando's Water Reclamation Enterprises Department posted two sole-source service-plan notices for laboratory sterilizers (Solicitation S260554, due August 12, 2026, and S240246) naming Getinge as the exclusive source but inviting challenge submissions. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services, issued an RFP for annual autoclave inspection, calibration, and repair services (Solicitation S1070000017047, due August 17, 2026) covering five autoclaves at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville; the contract is renewable in two-year increments with a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million, and technicians must hold current CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent certification plus at least one year of hands-on experience. The State of California solicited STERILGARD Biosafety Cabinets meeting detailed technical specifications (RFB IS-26200890, due May 11, 2026) and included CBE set-aside consideration. A Sourcewell cooperative-purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626) appears unrelated to this code's scope and does not reflect relevant recent activity under it.
