UNSPSC 42161901: Therapeutic apheresis procedure kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform therapeutic apheresis procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42161901 Therapeutic apheresis procedure kits is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect therapeutic apheresis procurement. Instead, the tagged opportunities show health care systems and public agencies soliciting laser surgical equipment, ventilator maintenance, surgical power instruments, ultrasound systems, spinal implants, and intraosseous infusion devices—none of which align with apheresis-specific blood collection or plasma processing kit products. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either miscoding of opportunities by issuing bodies or minimal current demand for apheresis kits in the state and local market.

The issuing bodies represented across the opportunities include county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Hillsborough County), university health centers (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, Valencia College), county EMS agencies (Marion County, Florida), and school districts (Klein Independent School District). Geographic activity spans California, Florida, and Texas, with a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) serving multi-state law enforcement procurement. Without relevant recent apheresis opportunities to characterize, no representative solicitations, response dates, or work scopes specific to therapeutic apheresis kits can be drawn from the source material.
