UNSPSC 42311552 Medical and surgical adherent tapes for general use is a Commodity code covering specialized medical supplies including diagnostic, therapeutic, and first aid materials that state and local governments purchase for health departments, emergency services, state hospitals, and social services agencies. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring this product as part of broader medical supply frameworks rather than as standalone adhesive-tape procurements; the code appears in cooperative purchasing consortiums and bundled healthcare supply solicitations serving multiple product lines simultaneously. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Washington State Department of Transportation, Idaho state agencies through NASPO ValuePoint), county governments (Escambia County, Florida; Williamson County, Texas), and municipal fire and rescue departments (City of Tampa Fire Rescue). Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet quality standards requiring new, unused products in first-class condition, provide firm pricing often including statewide or multi-location FOB destination delivery, maintain expiration-date compliance (typically nine months to one year minimum remaining shelf life), and often hold commercial general liability insurance or specialized certifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Washington, and Idaho. Representative solicitations include the NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (posted October 6, 2026, due November 9, 2026), an Idaho-sponsored cooperative purchasing framework encompassing medical supplies across multiple categories with evaluation centered on vendor qualifications and pricing competitiveness; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T-27-345A2 (posted September 4, 2026, due October 6, 2026), covering 21 line items of personal protective equipment and first aid components for statewide delivery with an initial term through November 30, 2027, and renewal options through November 30, 2030; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017685 (posted August 4, 2026, due August 19, 2026) for miscellaneous medical supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center with a $50,000 historical annual value. The City of Tampa ITB 25-P-00157 (due April 9, 2025) targeted 32 medical and first aid supply items with 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–$20,000. Cooperative purchasing and framework agreements dominate the landscape, enabling multiple public entities to draw from a single awarded contract rather than bid individually.
