UNSPSC 57010101: Personal travel kits for UN staff

The travel kit is a carry bag with a logo, which is small enough to comply with airline cabin baggage size requirements. It includes a sleeping bag, pillow, mosquito net, towel, torch, small medical kit, rain poncho, plate/bowl, sun hat, water bottle and water filter. It weighs 8 kg.

UNSPSC 57010101 Personal travel kits for UN staff is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title refers to travel kits for international staff, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code in the state and local market span medical equipment, supplies, and services — laser systems for operating rooms, disposable laboratory safety clothing, surgical power instruments, mobile vital sign monitors, ophthalmic instruments, automated external defibrillators, medical supplies and equipment distribution, vocational education equipment, and medical equipment maintenance. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging errors in the state and local database or a taxonomy misalignment that renders this code unreliable for identifying true travel-kit procurement activity.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span public hospitals (San Mateo Medical Center in California), academic institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), county governments (Santa Clara, Cobb, Hillsborough, Marion, San Mateo), school districts (Cobb County School District), state agencies (Minnesota Department of Administration, New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, New York), and specialized procurement cooperatives (MMCAP serving 8,000 government members across the United States). Geographic spread covers California, Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP for laser equipment and technical support for operating room use (posted July 10, 2026, RFP format), University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB for disposable laboratory safety clothing and related accessories (posted July 9, 2026, bids due July 27, 2026), and Santa Clara County's ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories for the Valley Specialty Center (posted June 21, 2026, bids due July 10, 2026). The code exhibits no coherent procurement signal for business development purposes and warrants manual review of source records to identify the correct taxonomy tier for medical equipment and supplies activity.
