UNSPSC 42171607 Mobile medical services cervical or extrication collars (Commodity) represents a narrow product line, but the recent opportunities block shows the code is being applied across a broad spectrum of emergency medical services procurement — from cervical collars and extrication devices to AED batteries, ventilator maintenance, EMS pharmaceuticals and supplies, and occupational medical surveillance services. State and local buyers appear to use this code as a catch-all for emergency medical equipment and supplies rather than restricting it to collars alone. Issuing bodies span county fire departments and EMS agencies (Bernalillo County, Escambia County, Orange County, Williamson County, Marion County), city fire departments (Tucson, Dallas, DeLand), county governments (Sarasota, Collier, Clay, Henry, Forsyth), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Ohio Board of Health, Texas), and regional authorities (University Medical Center of El Paso). A handful of counties appear multiple times — Williamson County and Collier County show at least two recent solicitations each, suggesting repeat procurement activity around equipment standardization and supply chain management.

Recent activity clusters in the South (Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico) and Pacific Northwest, with notable procurement from Bernalillo County (New Mexico), Orange County and Escambia County (Florida), Williamson County (Texas), and Forsyth County (Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue requesting bids for approximately 266 core EMS medical products (RFB 46-26-JM, due May 21, 2026, estimated $240,000 annually); Tucson Fire Department soliciting BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals and supplies plus VendNovation vending machines (RFP 260217, federally funded through ARPA/HUD/FTA with prevailing wage and DBE requirements, due June 24, 2026); Escambia County EMS posting a sole-source for authorized Hamilton Medical consumables including ventilator circuit tubing and high-flow nasal cannulas (SSPSAJ2526008, due September 29, 2026); and Williamson County requesting sealed bids for EMS medical and pharmaceutical items (26IFB63, due August 4, 2026). The code also captured Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extensions) and Marion County's procurement of Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems (09SS-103, due May 11, 2026). Sole-source and authorized-vendor-only procurements appear frequently, reflecting equipment standardization and patient safety requirements; several opportunities explicitly require OEM components or authorized distributor status. Multi-year contracts with renewal options dominate the structure, and many include inventory management system integration requirements or performance guarantees (fill rates, delivery timelines, expiration-date minimums).
