In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a disaster body pouch during a mobile medical services procedure.

UNSPSC 42171501 Mobile medical services disaster body pouches is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope. State and local governments soliciting under this code are not buying body pouches for disaster response; instead, they are purchasing a broad range of emergency medical services equipment, pharmaceuticals, supplies, and related services that fall outside the code's literal product definition. The issuing bodies include county commissions, city fire and rescue departments, regional EMS agencies, state departments of transportation, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Representative work being solicited includes BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals, airway management devices, IV administration sets, trauma supplies, diagnostic equipment, ventilator maintenance services, occupational medical surveillance, medical director services, and sole-source purchases of proprietary equipment such as AutoPulse cardiac compression devices, EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems, and Hamilton Medical consumables.

The code shows recent activity across multiple states and regions. Florida dominates the recent postings with opportunities from Sarasota County (AED batteries), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management and video laryngoscope equipment), Marion County (EZ-IO infusion systems), Escambia County EMS (Hamilton Medical ventilator supplies), and Orange County Fire Rescue (comprehensive EMS equipment). Texas activity includes solicitations from the City of Dallas (EMS equipment and supplies, Tramedic cabinet kits), Williamson County (EMS pharmaceuticals and EZ-IO equipment), Smith County (disaster debris management and monitoring), Bernalillo County (EMS medical products), and the City of Tucson (BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending systems). Other states with recent postings include Georgia (Henry County fire department medical supplies, City of South Fulton medical director services), Ohio (public health POD supplies), Washington (state ferries occupational medical surveillance), New Jersey (Bergen County accessibility services), and cooperative procurement frameworks spanning multiple jurisdictions nationally (Sourcewell law enforcement equipment, Purchasing Cooperative of America emergency responders equipment). The code shows significant recent activity volume but exhibits a scope mismatch that may warrant reclassification or clarification with issuing bodies.
