UNSPSC 42311548: Medical or surgical tape dispensers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tape dispenser during a surgical procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42311548 Medical or surgical tape dispensers is a Commodity code. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a substantial mismatch with its nominal scope. The two posted solicitations address occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation, ferries division) and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), neither of which involves medical or surgical tape dispensers or related dispensing equipment. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated product category.

The Washington State Ferries opportunity (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) is a medical services procurement, not a product purchase; it seeks a contractor to deliver occupational health examinations and record management across 14 Washington State locations, with cost accounting for 40 percent of the evaluation score and capability for 60 percent. The Sourcewell opportunity (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment open to multiple jurisdictions and entity types across the United States and Canada, submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal — again, unrelated to tape dispensers. Bidders pursuing this code should verify tagging accuracy with issuing agencies before investing in proposal preparation, as the current opportunities do not reflect the code's product definition.
