In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used to apply tubular or possibly adhesive bandages in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42311539 Bandage applicators is a Commodity code that captures adhesive and elastic first-aid dressing products sourced by state and local health, safety, and emergency-response agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show bandage applicators being procured as part of broader medical aid and first-aid supply bundles rather than as standalone items, typically bundled with antiseptic sprays, pain relievers, emergency blankets, and other emergency medical consumables. Issuing bodies include city fire-rescue departments, county animal shelters, and state and local cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter represent recent active buyers; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative serving participating entities across multiple states, is stewarding a broad law enforcement equipment procurement that may include first-aid and medical supplies for law enforcement agencies and other public entities.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Southwest. The City of Tampa (Florida) posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-P-00157 for medical aid supplies on April 24, 2026, with a bid opening of April 9, 2025—a date mismatch in the source—including bandages as one of 32 line items, with a departmental budget of $100,000 and set-asides for City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises and Underutilized Woman and Minority Owned Business Enterprises offering 5% bid discounts capped at $10,000 and $20,000 respectively. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter in Texas solicited pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies through IFB 26IFB24 (due April 23, 2026), with scope including oral veterinary medications and clinical consumables requiring online ordering capability, two-week delivery windows via common carrier, and firm pricing for three months followed by adjustable rates with documented justification. Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement equipment procurement across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County (Washington), and numerous other public entities nationwide, though the specific inclusion of bandage applicators in that framework is not explicit in the available documentation.
