UNSPSC 42311528: Wet dressing systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a system consisting of products, consumables and accessories that are used to execute a Wet dressing procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Wet dressing systems under 21 CFR 888.5090 and under FDA product code KMF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42311528 Wet dressing systems (Commodity) encompasses medical aid and first aid supplies, particularly bandaging materials, wound care products, and related consumables that state and local government agencies procure for emergency services and animal shelter operations. State and local governments buy these products primarily through invitations to bid (ITB, IFB) and request for proposal (RFP) structures, with municipal fire and rescue departments and county animal shelters serving as the primary issuing bodies. Recent solicitations show a mix of high-volume consumable procurement—such as bandages, respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring supplies, and gloves for active first-responder use—alongside specialized veterinary pharmaceutical and clinic supplies for shelter medical operations. Set-aside and bid-discount programs appear regularly in city procurement, with Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprise (U-WMBE) designations offering 5% bid discounts (capped at $10,000 to $20,000 per award) in some jurisdictions.

Florida and Texas dominate recent activity under this code. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue and Fire Department divisions have posted multiple solicitations in 2026 (Bid 26-P-00145 for medical and first aid supplies with a $700,000 estimated contract value, due March 13, 2026; Bid 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies with a $100,000 department budget, due April 9, 2025), each covering 30–170 line items of consumables with one-year initial terms and up to two renewal options. Williamson County, Texas, solicited veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies through IFB 26IFB24 (due April 23, 2026) for the Regional Animal Shelter, requiring an online ordering portal, firm pricing for three months, and delivery within two weeks. Response deadlines in the recent block fall between March and April 2026; contract terms typically run one year with optional 12-month renewals, and minimum product shelf-life requirements (nine months for medications in fire service; one year for veterinary and animal shelter supplies) are standard across all posted solicitations.
