UNSPSC 42311551 Medical or surgical tape removers is a Commodity code that encompasses adhesive removal products and solutions used across healthcare delivery environments. In practice, state and local governments procure these items as components of broader medical supply contracts rather than as standalone commodity procurements. The code sees activity from state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, municipalities, and specialized healthcare facilities seeking consumable medical supplies for clinical, emergency response, and facility support operations.

Recent opportunities show the code embedded within multi-item medical supply frameworks rather than isolated tape-remover procurements. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-27-345A2 for Personal Protective Equipment and First Aid Components (responses due October 6, 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017685 for miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center (bids due August 19, 2026) represent typical buying patterns where tape removers appear as line items within broader health supply categories. The NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing RFP NVP_1443 sponsored by Idaho state agencies and posted October 6, 2026 (due November 9, 2026) establishes a framework contract for medical supplies across multiple product categories distributed to participating public entities, likely including adhesive removal solutions. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with Idaho participating through the cooperative vehicle. Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions, county health and human services offices, and specialized state-operated facilities. No minimum purchase volumes or dedicated line-item dollar values for tape removers alone are disclosed in recent opportunities; pricing is typically negotiated within comprehensive medical supply tiers or cooperative agreements with volume discounts or tiered pricing structures.
