UNSPSC 57010102: Field Kits for UN staff

Field kits can be provided for deployment to difficult locations. These have a comprehensive range of survival items for improving field conditions. The kit is intended to provide staff with total self-sufficiency for three days.

UNSPSC 57010102 Field Kits for UN Staff, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The fourteen recent solicitations tagged under this code span maintenance and repair supplies (City of Tucson MRO master agreement), automated external defibrillators and accessories (Huron Valley Schools cooperative purchasing, Cobb County School District), medical equipment maintenance (Hillsborough County ventilator and equipment service contracts, San Mateo County surgical power and group purchasing organization membership), laser and ophthalmic instruments (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County), evacuation chairs (Los Angeles Superior Court), and educational equipment for career and technical education programs (Educational Service and Buying Consortium in Texas). None of these represents field kits tailored for United Nations personnel. The code's nominal scope—kits assembled for international staff deployment—does not correspond to the domestic government procurement activity actually appearing under this UNSPSC designation.

Issuing bodies include municipal purchasing offices (City of Tucson, City of Palm Bay, City of Owensboro, City of Dallas), county commissions and medical centers (Hillsborough County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Marion County, Cobb County, Clay County), school districts and educational consortia (Huron Valley Schools, Cobb County School District, Educational Service and Buying Consortium), state agencies and departments (New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Texas Intergovernmental Purchasing Syndicate operating through the Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), higher education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), courts (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles), and transit or emergency response entities (Marion County Fire Rescue). Geographic concentration spans California (San Mateo, Santa Clara, Los Angeles), Florida (Hillsborough, Marion, Palm Bay, Clay County, Cobb County jurisdictional activity), Michigan (Huron Valley Schools cooperative), Texas (TIPS, ESBD), New Hampshire, Kentucky, and Minnesota. No recent opportunities in this code block represent authentic field-kit procurement for international UN personnel; the mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual state and local buying activity indicates either a systematic mis-tagging issue or that the code sees negligible relevant activity in state and local markets.
