UNSPSC 42331506: Dressing Change-Port

Kits for use during Dressing Change- implanted Port.

UNSPSC 42331506 Dressing Change-Port is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; state and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily purchasing occupational and disability-related medical surveillance, examination, and evaluation services rather than dressing-change consumables or port-access medical devices. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). A third opportunity—the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing—addresses ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Washington, Arizona, and California, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. The City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) represent broader healthcare procurement rather than consumables aligned with the code's stated title. Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026) similarly diverges from dressing-change scope. The disconnect between the code's nominal commodity definition and the actual work posted under it suggests either persistent taxonomy misclassification in state and local procurement systems or minimal legitimate purchasing activity in this specific consumable category at the state and local tier.
