UNSPSC 42282016: Soak-and-spray cleaning systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a system consisting of products, consumables and accessories that are used to execute a soak-and-spray cleaning procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42282016 Soak-and-spray cleaning systems (Commodity) covers sterilization equipment maintenance and service, including inspection, calibration, repair, and preventative-maintenance planning for autoclaves and laboratory sterilizers. State and local governments procure comprehensive original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) service plans bundling replacement parts, field service escalation, complaint handling aligned with federal medical-device regulations (21 CFR Part 803), and response-time guarantees. Issuing bodies include city water and reclamation departments, state enterprise asset-management offices, and county health or facility-management functions; the City of Orlando appears as a repeat buyer, having issued sole-source notices for laboratory-sterilizer service plans in both 2024 and 2026. Work involves technician networks holding current autoclave certifications (CRCST, CBSPD, or equivalent) and at least one year of hands-on experience, with service delivery during standard business hours and emergency response required within 24 hours for critical failures.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Oregon. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services issued an RFP for annual autoclave and associated equipment inspection, calibration, and repair services (Solicitation S1070000017047, due August 17, 2026) covering five autoclaves and one cart assembly at the North Valley Complex in Wilsonville, with a 5% preference for goods and services fabricated, processed, or performed entirely in Oregon and a maximum not-to-exceed compensation of $5 million. The City of Orlando, through its Water Reclamation Enterprises Department, posted sole-source notices for laboratory-sterilizer service plans (Solicitation S260554, due August 12, 2026, and Solicitation S240246, dated March 2024) identifying Getinge USA Sales LLC as the incumbent source and inviting challenges from alternative suppliers within a seven-calendar-day posting window. Oregon's solicitation permits contract renewal in two-year increments and requires contractors to maintain comprehensive insurance including Workers' Compensation with $500,000 Employers' Liability limits and $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence.
