UNSPSC 42171611 Mobile medical services litter (Commodity) encompasses automated chest compression and emergency medical response equipment that state and local governments procure for EMS, fire, and hospital-based critical care transport operations. Recent solicitations show that "litter" in this code's nomenclature does not refer to stretchers or transport devices but rather to specialized resuscitation apparatus — specifically AutoPulse NXT automated compression units and related emergency medical equipment. The code is being solicited by county EMS agencies, fire departments, hospital systems, and regional purchasing cooperatives across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeLand's sole-source procurement for AutoPulse NXT units from Zoll Medical Corporation (ITSS2604, posted Oct 19, 2026); Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue's RFB for approximately 266 core EMS medical products including airway management, cardiovascular devices, and emergency pharmaceuticals with an estimated annual value of $240,000 (RFB4626JM, due May 21, 2026); and the Purchasing Cooperative of America's RFP for emergency responders equipment available to members on a national basis (RFPOD45126EMERGENCYRESPONDERSEQUIPMENT, due Oct 27, 2026).

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Florida counties (Volusia, Sarasota, Orange, Marion, Collier, Escambia, Hillsborough), Texas jurisdictions (El Paso, Williamson, Dallas), Georgia (Henry County, South Fulton, Forsyth), and New Mexico (Bernalillo). The code shows consistent procurement from county EMS operations, fire departments, and hospital systems seeking supplies ranging from single-source medical devices (video laryngoscopes, intraosseous infusion kits, ventilator batteries) to comprehensive catalog-based medical supply contracts with quarterly replenishment and inventory management integration. Sole-source and narrow-source procurements are common — Collier County's notice of intent to single-source Verathon Inc. for GlideScope Go 2 laryngoscopes (PUR17682, posted Jul 30, 2026) and Escambia County EMS's sole-source solicitation for Hamilton Medical consumables (SSPSAJ2526008, posted Sep 22, 2026) reflect the device-locked nature of much emergency medical equipment. Multi-year contracts with annual renewal options and performance guarantees (minimum fill rates of 90–95 percent, delivery within 5 business days, expiration-date assurances) are standard across fire and EMS solicitations.
