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 that, based on recent state and local opportunities, encompasses a much broader range of medical diagnostic and surgical equipment than its nominal title suggests. State and local healthcare systems, including county-operated hospitals, college allied health programs, and emergency medical services, are procuring under this code for ultrasound systems, surgical power instruments, laser equipment with technical support, ventilator maintenance services, intraosseous infusion devices, and related clinical support. The issuing bodies include county governments operating public hospitals and medical centers (San Mateo County, Hillsborough County, Marion County), higher-education institutions with healthcare training programs (Valencia College), cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell), and public emergency services. San Mateo County appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting multiple surgical and diagnostic equipment categories within a short window.

Recent activity spans Florida, California, and Washington state. Representative opportunities include Valencia College's sole-source procurement for a Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System at $96,093.00 via notice SS202616 (due November 13, 2025); San Mateo County's RFP 666002526250 for laser equipment and operating room technical support services (due June 10, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00275 for three-year Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance and repair services at an estimated $140,225.00 (due June 12, 2026); Marion County's procurement notice 09SS-103 for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems (due May 11, 2026); and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 establishing a cooperative purchasing contract for law enforcement equipment across multiple participating jurisdictions (due June 16, 2026). The code shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity—apheresis procedure kits do not appear in any of the recent opportunities, suggesting the code may be incorrectly tagged in state and local procurement systems or that apheresis-specific procurement is minimal in the current activity window.
