UNSPSC 41115805: Blood gas analyzers

UNSPSC 41115805 Blood gas analyzers is a Commodity code that spans a wider range of medical diagnostic and emergency-response equipment than the abstract code name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations under this code encompass intraosseous infusion equipment (EZ-IO needles, stabilizers, and drills for emergency medical services), automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and accessories, blood pressure cuffs compatible with specific defibrillator platforms, transport ventilators for prehospital respiratory care, computerized dynamic posturography systems with virtual reality integration, metabolic measurement systems, and laboratory autoanalyzers with supporting technical service. The mix of issuing bodies includes county government procurement offices (Williamson County, Cobb County, Marion County, Collier County, Clay County), county school districts (Cobb County School District), state universities (Georgia State University, Lamar University), a municipal procurement division (City of Orlando), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Sole-source and re-solicitation procurements dominate the recent activity, reflecting the specialized and often proprietary nature of clinical equipment and the incumbent-vendor relationships typical in emergency medical services and hospital laboratory settings.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and South, with postings from Florida (Williamson County, Marion County, Collier County, Clay County, City of Orlando), Georgia (Cobb County School District, Georgia State University), and Texas (Lamar University, Klein Independent School District), alongside a multi-state cooperative vehicle anchored in Minnesota and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include Williamson County's sole-source purchase of EZ-IO intraosseous infusion equipment from Teleflex Medical Incorporated (Solicitation 26SS60, due July 7, 2026), Cobb County School District's request for quotes on AED equipment, batteries, and accessories estimated at approximately $50,000 (Q27009, due July 6, 2026), Marion County's re-solicitation for blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator (21SS-044, due May 6, 2026), and Clay County's sole-source notice for Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators from Hamilton Medical, Inc. (posted March 23, 2026). The code shows active procurement across emergency medical services, hospital clinical laboratories, school health and safety, and university research and training facilities, with vendors typically facing sole-source or limited-competition procurements due to equipment standardization and clinical protocol constraints.
