UNSPSC 42161510 Peritoneal lavage kits is a Commodity code covering sterile kits used in emergency medicine and trauma care to rapidly assess abdominal injuries through peritoneal fluid analysis. State and local governments procure these kits primarily through hospital systems, emergency departments, and trauma centers operated by county health authorities, municipal hospital networks, and regional medical centers. The kits typically include sterile catheter sets, collection containers, antiseptic solutions, and diagnostic supplies needed to perform diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) procedures in acute-care settings. Issuing bodies are predominantly county and municipal hospital procurement offices, though some regional trauma networks and health departments also source these supplies as part of standardized emergency-medicine inventories.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted solicitations under this code, indicating limited current procurement activity in the state and local market for this specific commodity. Peritoneal lavage kits remain a standard emergency-department supply, but procurement patterns suggest they may be sourced through standing hospital supply contracts, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), or cooperative purchasing arrangements rather than through discrete RFPs or IFBs. Firms pursuing this category should monitor county hospital system RFQs and trauma-center supply contracts, particularly in regions with level-one or level-two trauma centers, and consider alignment with healthcare cooperative purchasing vehicles serving municipal and county health systems.
