UNSPSC 42161910 Therapeutic apheresis machine pump cartridges is a Commodity code that in practice sees state and local government procurement of diverse medical equipment and related services — far broader than the code's nominal scope. Recent solicitations under this code show hospitals and health systems purchasing ultrasound systems, surgical power equipment, laser systems for operating rooms, ventilator maintenance and repair services, intraosseous infusion devices, and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing frameworks. The issuing bodies span county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Hillsborough County), single-purpose public agencies (Marion County emergency medical services), educational institutions (Valencia College), and multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The code appears to be applied inconsistently across jurisdictions — some opportunities are plainly unrelated to therapeutic apheresis or pump cartridges, suggesting either miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all medical equipment classification within certain procurement systems.

The geographic spread covers Florida (Hillsborough County, Marion County, Valencia College), California (San Mateo County), and multi-state cooperative procurement (Sourcewell serving Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's May 2026 RFP for surgical power equipment with a five-year contract term and scoring based on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with local business preferences of five percent additional points and up to eight percent for micro businesses; Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance and repair services over three years with an estimated contract value of $140,225; and Marion County's May 2026 procurement for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems with a seven-day response window. The code shows activity across both solicitation-driven procurements and cooperative purchasing frameworks, though the breadth of products and services tagged to this single commodity code indicates significant miscoding or jurisdictional variation in UNSPSC application within these state and local systems.
