UNSPSC 42311515 Hydrocolloid dressings is a Commodity code representing specialized wound care products that state and local governments procure as components of broader medical supply frameworks and emergency response inventories. State and local buyers acquire hydrocolloid dressings through multi-item medical supply contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and emergency services procurement — the dressings appear as line items within larger first aid, wound care, or occupational health surveillance programs rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies span state agencies, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts; the recent opportunities show Idaho state agencies and participating NASPO ValuePoint entities (through a Texas-posted cooperative RFP), Escambia County Florida, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (serving Texas Department of Public Safety and statewide customers), the City of Tampa Fire Rescue, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. The code sees activity across multiple procurement notice types — cooperative RFPs, sole-source procurements, IFBs, and ITBs — with response dates ranging from August through November 2026.

Recent opportunities show hydrocolloid dressings embedded in medical supply aggregations: the NASPO ValuePoint RFP (NVP_1443, responses due November 9, 2026) establishes a cooperative framework for medical supplies distributed to Idaho state agencies and other participating public entities; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-27-345A2 (responses due October 6, 2026) includes first aid and PPE components for statewide delivery; the City of Tampa Fire Rescue ITB 25-P-00157 (bid opening April 9, 2025) covers 32 medical and first aid supply items with an estimated annual budget of $100,000; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017685 (bids due August 19, 2026) sought miscellaneous medical supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center with historical spend of $50,000 over a twelve-month period. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Idaho and Washington. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body — the City of Tampa offers 5% bid discounts for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises, while other jurisdictions note that specific designations may apply per state policy without confirmation of which programs are active.
