UNSPSC 47121707: Motion sickness or emesis bags

Collapsible container for emesis or waste from vomiting.

UNSPSC 47121707 Motion sickness or emesis bags is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows minimal market activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a mismatch: the Long Beach Public Utilities Department's RFQ UD26316 for portable disposable restroom bags (posted March 11, 2026, due March 27, 2026) is the only solicitation materially related to emesis or waste containment products, and it concerns portable restroom and urinal bags rather than motion sickness bags specifically. The remaining opportunities in the source—including Reeves County's aquatic amenities RFP, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative, Williamson County's veterinary pharmaceuticals IFB, Collier County's senior services RFP, Pinellas County's first aid supplies ITB, and the District of Columbia's medical waste disposal RFQ—are unrelated to motion sickness or emesis containment and appear to be incorrectly or incidentally tagged under this code.

The Long Beach opportunity offers the only concrete procurement signal under this Commodity. The Public Utilities Department seeks 28,000 units annually of disposable urinal bags (Brief Relief Liquid Waste Bag Model BR608 or equal) and 1,700 units of portable restroom bags (Brief Relief Disposa-John Model BR500 or equal), with firm pricing for two years and delivery within five business days to two warehouse locations. The contract includes a 10% local preference for Long Beach-based suppliers (capped at $50,000 benefit) and requires $1 million general liability, $500,000 auto liability, and 24-hour defect replacement at vendor cost. This represents utility-sector demand for portable waste containment in the California public sector. Beyond this single opportunity, the code shows no identifiable recent activity targeting motion sickness bags or related medical emesis products in state and local procurement.
