UNSPSC 42161916 Therapeutic apheresis machines is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code include laser equipment for surgical operating rooms, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance and repair, law enforcement equipment, intraosseous infusion systems, educational instructional resources, ultrasound machines, and spinal implants—none of which fall within the therapeutic apheresis equipment category. This mismatch indicates that the code shows little relevant recent activity for actual apheresis procurement; state and local issuing bodies appear to be applying the code incorrectly or the solicitations were improperly classified by the source data.

The few opportunities in the dataset span diverse issuing bodies including county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Hillsborough County), county boards of commissioners, state education institutions (Klein Independent School District in Texas, Valencia College in Florida, University of Texas Health Science Center), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and other jurisdictions). Geographic activity appears scattered across California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Minnesota, with no concentration in any single state or region. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect genuine apheresis machine procurement, this code presents limited guidance for business development targeting state and local therapeutic apheresis sales.
