UNSPSC 42311515: Hydrocolloid dressings

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a dressing made of hydrocolloid material used in wound treatment in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Hydrocolloid dressings under 21 CFR 880.5090 and under FDA product code KMF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300510.

UNSPSC 42311515 Hydrocolloid dressings is a Commodity code reflecting medical supply procurement driven by fire rescue departments and animal shelters seeking wound-care and veterinary pharmaceutical products. State and local governments buy hydrocolloid dressings as part of broader medical and first aid supply contracts, though the recent opportunities show these items bundled with antiseptic sprays, bandaging materials, respiratory equipment, cardiac electrodes, and veterinary pharmaceuticals rather than procured as standalone products. Issuing bodies include city fire departments (Tampa Fire Rescue Department, Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division) and county animal shelter operations (Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter). The City of Tampa appears as a repeat buyer, posting two separate ITBs for medical and first aid supplies within a month (26P00145 in March 2026 and 25P00157 in April 2026), with estimated contract values of $700,000 and $100,000 respectively. Both Tampa solicitations carry local set-aside and bid-discount provisions for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), with the 26P00145 bid sheltered exclusively for certified SLBEs.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. The City of Tampa solicited medical and first aid supplies through ITB 26P00145 (due March 13, 2026) covering 169 line items with one-year award and two optional renewal periods, and ITB 25P00157 (due April 9, 2025) for 32 medical supply items including first aid kits and emergency blankets, also with one-year initial term and two renewals. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas posted IFB 26IFB24 (due April 23, 2026) seeking veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies including oral medications, with one-year initial term and optional 12-month extensions to 36 months maximum. All three solicitations require firm pricing, electronic ordering and portal systems, and standard delivery windows (five working days for Tampa, two weeks for Williamson County). No recent solicitations identify hydrocolloid dressings as a discrete line item; the code shows activity primarily as part of larger medical supply portfolios rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle.
