UNSPSC 42312301: Absorbers for wound cleansing

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a piece of material to absorb treatments and dead or compromise tissue from a wound in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Absorbers for wound cleansing under 21 CFR 878.4018 and under FDA product code KOZ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42312301 Absorbers for wound cleansing, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three posted opportunities — an orthopedic hardware extraction system services contract from San Mateo Medical Center, a law enforcement equipment cooperative from Sourcewell, and a spinal implants procurement from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio — do not align with the code's nominal scope of wound-cleansing absorbers. The San Mateo and UTHSA solicitations involve surgical implants and extraction systems rather than wound-care consumables; the Sourcewell RFP addresses law enforcement equipment entirely outside the medical supply space. State and local governments buying wound-cleansing absorbers under this code are not represented in the recent-opportunities block.

The code appears inactive in current state and local procurement. No issuing bodies, no geographic clusters, and no representative recent opportunities support active sourcing of wound-cleansing absorbers at the state, county, municipal, school district, or transit authority level. This may reflect the commodity's ubiquity in standard medical supply catalogs and cooperative agreements rather than standalone competitive procurement, or it may signal that jurisdictions tag such purchases under different codes or through existing vendor relationships.
