UNSPSC 42312401 Calcium alginate wound packing (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within broader medical supply procurement frameworks at state and local levels. State and local governments source calcium alginate wound dressings primarily as components of larger medical supply contracts or standalone supplies for emergency response, occupational health, and facility-based care. The recent opportunities show this Commodity code applied inconsistently across state and local solicitations — the opportunities tagged under the code span occupational medical examinations, intraosseous needle systems, general first aid kits, miscellaneous facility supplies, and veterinary pharmaceuticals, suggesting state and local procurement systems sometimes apply the code as a catch-all within broader medical supply families rather than isolating calcium alginate wound packing specifically. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county purchasing offices, city fire and rescue departments, state transportation authorities, and special-purpose districts managing occupied facilities.

Recent activity appears geographically dispersed across Texas (multiple state health agencies and city of Tampa), Florida (Escambia County), Washington (state department of transportation), and Idaho (NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle). The most recent opportunities with posted dates from August through October 2026 reflect broader medical supply procurement rather than calcium alginate wound packing as a standalone line item. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 Idaho Medical Supplies (posted October 6, 2026, due November 9, 2026) is a cooperative purchasing framework for medical supplies spanning multiple product categories across participating state agencies and public entities; the Texas Comptroller Statewide Procurement Division IFB 304T-27-345A2 (posted September 4, 2026, due October 6, 2026) focuses on personal protective equipment and first aid components for statewide delivery; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017685 (posted August 4, 2026, due August 19, 2026) covers miscellaneous medical supplies for a state supported living center. The code shows no recent opportunities soliciting calcium alginate wound packing as a named line item or primary focus.
