UNSPSC 42311506: Compression bandages

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a bandage that stops the flow of blood from an artery by applying pressure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Compression bandages under 21 CFR 880.5240 and under FDA product code KGX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42311506 Compression bandages, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its abstract scope; the two posted state and local opportunities under this code do not involve compression bandages or medical supplies. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment to serve participating counties and public entities across the United States and Canada, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline. Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU), a Florida utility, issued RFP 2026054 in April 2026 for replacement of an instrument air compressor at a biomass generation facility, due May 11, 2026. Neither solicitation concerns compression bandages, elasticated wraps, or medical consumables of the type the commodity code nominally describes. The mismatch between code classification and actual procurement scope suggests either miscoding at the issuing body or minimal legitimate activity under this code in the recent state and local market.

The geographic spread indicated by recent opportunities includes Minnesota (Sourcewell's administrative base) with multi-state and multi-jurisdictional reach, and Florida (GRU). The issuing bodies span a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) serving thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities, and a municipal utility (GRU). Without additional opportunities demonstrating actual compression-bandage procurement, this code does not present a reliable signal of active state and local demand.
