UNSPSC 42312105: Ostomy skin barriers or protective care kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies that enable ostomy skin barriers use in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Ostomy skin barriers or protective care kits under 21 CFR 876.59 and under FDA product code EXB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42312105 Ostomy skin barriers or protective care kits is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026—is a law enforcement equipment solicitation issued by Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, on behalf of participating counties and public entities across Washington state and beyond. This represents a significant mismatch: the code nominally covers medical ostomy products, but the actual procurement targets law enforcement equipment for governmental agencies, schools, and nonprofits nationwide. The opportunity does not describe ostomy supplies or medical protective care kits in any detail, and the scope appears to span general law enforcement equipment rather than medical consumables.

The geographic footprint of this single opportunity spans Washington state (with named participation from Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and extends to participating jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada through Sourcewell's cooperative framework. However, the law enforcement equipment focus indicates this code may be incorrectly tagged for the actual medical-supply category it nominally represents. Vendors pursuing ostomy skin barrier and protective care kit sales to state and local public-sector buyers should monitor whether additional opportunities emerge under this code; the current posting suggests either miscoding or that state and local governments are not actively procuring ostomy supplies through the codes and mechanisms tracked in this dataset.
