UNSPSC 42171606: Mobile medical services air splints

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an air splint during a mobile medical services procedure. US FDA regulates Mobile medical services air splints under 21 CFR 878.39 and under FDA product code FZF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42171606 Mobile medical services air splints, a Commodity code, names equipment for rapid immobilization in emergency response settings, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little volume. County and municipal emergency services departments—fire rescue, EMS, and emergency management agencies—source air splints as part of broader emergency medical supplies procurements rather than as standalone line items. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of EMS medical equipment purchasing where counties, cities, and regional emergency services departments regularly solicit comprehensive medical supply bundles covering airway management, trauma dressings, pharmaceuticals, monitoring devices, and immobilization tools. Issuing bodies span fire departments in mid-size and large cities (Dallas, Tampa, Tucson, Orlando, Marion County), county emergency services (Williamson County, Bernalillo County, Clay County, Orange County, Henry County, Hillsborough County), and state health agencies (Ohio Board of Health). A handful of repeat issuers—particularly Williamson County, Texas and Henry County, Georgia—have posted multiple medical supply solicitations in the review window, suggesting sustained procurement cycles.

Recent opportunities confirm that air splints and related immobilization devices are bundled into larger EMS medical products contracts rather than purchased in isolation. Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue solicited approximately 266 core medical products (RFB 46-26-JM, due May 21, 2026) with an estimated annual spend of $240,000; Orange County Fire Rescue sought 94 line items across airway management, trauma supplies, and immobilization tools (Y25-1067-KS, due October 14, 2025); and Henry County, Georgia issued a sealed bid for miscellaneous medical supplies with web-based inventory integration (BID #26-34, due April 8, 2026). The City of Tucson Fire Department's procurement (RFP 260217, due June 24, 2026) called for BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending machines with an estimated annual usage spanning 251 line items, including diagnostic and monitoring equipment. Most solicitations specify delivery within five to seven business days, fill-rate guarantees of 90–95 percent, and product expiration dates ranging from 12 to 24 months minimum from shipment. Geographic activity clusters in Texas (Williamson, Dallas, Bernalillo), Florida (Orange, Clay, Marion, Collier, Hillsborough, Tucson area), Georgia (Henry County), and Ohio, with competitive sealed bids and RFPs as the dominant vehicle. Set-asides and local-vendor preferences appear in Henry County (5–10 percent for state residents, small businesses, veteran-owned, and DBE firms) and Bernalillo County (up to 18 percent preference cap for state resident, Native American, veteran, local, and small businesses).
