UNSPSC 23151812: Tablet counters

UNSPSC 23151812 Tablet counters is a Commodity code that covers portable or stationary devices for counting and dispensing tablet medications in healthcare, pharmacy, and clinical settings. State and local governments procure these devices primarily through cooperative purchasing agreements and multi-jurisdictional medical supply frameworks that serve government members across broad geographic areas. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices, county governments, and special-purpose service cooperatives that aggregate purchasing power for healthcare systems, clinics, and emergency services. Recent solicitations show that tablet counters are sourced as part of comprehensive medical supply agreements rather than as standalone commodity purchases — they appear bundled within full-line distributor contracts that serve thousands of government entities simultaneously.

The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP), operating under the State of Minnesota Department of Administration's Office of State Procurement, issued RFP 37259 on June 12, 2026 with a response deadline of July 20, 2026, seeking full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors to serve approximately 8,000 government members across the United States; MMCAP's collective annual purchasing power in the medical supply portfolio stands at approximately $300 million. The scope encompasses wound care, patient point-of-care testing, specimen collection supplies, hospital furnishings, surgical instruments, and related categories within which tablet counters would likely be sourced. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 due June 16, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions; while this solicitation does not explicitly reference tablet counters, the breadth of the law enforcement equipment procurement framework suggests potential inclusion of medical or field equipment categories. Geographic activity concentrates in Minnesota through both MMCAP and Sourcewell cooperative structures, with participating jurisdictions extending across the United States.
