UNSPSC 42311517 Liquid adhesives for bandages or dressings (Commodity) encompasses adhesive products used in medical wound care and dressing applications. State and local governments procure these items primarily through health and human services agencies, state departments, county facilities, and municipalities that support occupational health, emergency response, and institutional care operations. The scope spans bandages with integrated adhesive components, wound dressing systems, and related first aid materials used across fire departments, state-supported living centers, and occupational health programs.

Recent activity shows purchases distributed across Texas, Florida, Washington, and Idaho through a mix of state agencies, county governments, and municipal fire departments. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB 304T-27-345A2 for Personal Protective Equipment and First Aid Components (due October 6, 2026), which includes bandages and gauze lines alongside other first aid items for statewide delivery through the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center (due August 19, 2026), covering 39 line items including wound care materials with a historical annual spend of $50,000.
