UNSPSC 42311510: Foam dressings

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a dressing converted into foam of used in wound treatment in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Foam dressings under 21 CFR 878.4780 and under FDA product code OMP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300510.

UNSPSC 42311510 Foam dressings is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the actual work being solicited. The only recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and a nationwide cooperative purchasing network. Foam dressings, a medical wound-care product, bears no relationship to law enforcement equipment procurement. This mismatch indicates the code has been applied incorrectly to the opportunity rather than reflecting authentic demand for foam dressings within state and local government purchasing.

The code shows no recent, substantive state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local health departments, school districts, corrections agencies, transit authorities, and other public bodies that typically purchase medical supplies do not appear in recent solicitations under this Commodity code. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat the absence of authentic recent opportunities and the misclassification of the single posted record as a signal that foam dressing procurement under this code does not represent an active market segment at present.
