UNSPSC 42161916: Therapeutic apheresis machines

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as therapeutic apheresis machine. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42161916 Therapeutic apheresis machines is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses diagnostic medical imaging equipment and operating-room surgical support systems rather than apheresis-specific devices. State and local buyers under this code include public colleges, county health systems, and municipal hospital networks. Valencia College's School of Allied Health pursued sole-source procurement of a Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System ($96,093.00) for diagnostic imaging training and clinical use; San Mateo Medical Center issued separate RFPs for laser equipment and surgical power instruments to replace obsolete operating-room equipment. The issuing bodies span educational institutions and public hospital systems, with San Mateo County appearing twice in the recent record—once for laser equipment and technical support and again for surgical power equipment under a five-year contract term with compliance requirements including the Living Wage Ordinance (currently $17.00 per hour minimum), HIPAA Business Associate obligations, and a local-business preference awarding five percent additional evaluation points.

Recent activity clusters in California and Florida. Valencia College (Solicitation SS202616, sole source, posted October 19, 2026, response due November 13, 2025) and San Mateo County (two RFPs, one for laser equipment posted August 21, 2026 with a June 10, 2026 proposal deadline, another for surgical power posted June 29, 2026 with a May 28, 2026 deadline) dominate the visible opportunities. Additional signals appear in Florida (Marion County's May 4, 2026 notice for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems, due May 11, 2026) and a multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, June 16, 2026 deadline). The code shows sparse recent activity overall; the opportunities posted suggest a mismatch between the nominal commodity scope (apheresis machines) and the actual state and local buying pattern (medical imaging, surgical equipment, and emergency medical devices).
