UNSPSC 42171615: Mobile medical services air evacuation stretcher accessories

Accessories included with mobile medical service air evacuation stretchers

UNSPSC 42171615 Mobile medical services air evacuation stretcher accessories is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities do not reflect procurements of stretcher accessories. Instead, the tagged opportunities span emergency medical services equipment, supplies, and services across a broad range of modalities — automated chest compression devices (AutoPulse NXT units), ventilator maintenance, intraosseous infusion systems (EZ-IO), Hamilton Medical consumables, first aid supplies, occupational medical surveillance, AED batteries, EMS pharmaceuticals and supplies, and medical director services. The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling; recent activity actually covers core EMS and emergency response medical equipment and consumables rather than air evacuation stretcher-specific accessories. The issuing bodies are predominantly county fire-rescue departments, county EMS divisions, city fire departments, and state health agencies, with scattered municipal procurement offices. Repeat buyers include Bernalillo County (Fire & Rescue), Williamson County (EMS and sole-source purchases), Escambia County (EMS), Orange County (Florida Fire Rescue), and various Florida counties (Collier, Sarasota, Hillsborough). Geographic concentration skews toward Florida, Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, Ohio, and Washington, with additional activity in New Jersey and Arizona.

Representative recent solicitations include Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue's RFB 46-26-JM for approximately 266 core EMS medical products (airway, respiratory, cardiovascular, trauma, and pharmaceutical items) with an estimated annual value of $240,000, bids due May 21, 2026 (RFB, firm fixed price, F.O.B. Destination, 90–95% fill-rate requirement, five-business-day delivery); City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP 26-0217 for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending machines (251 line items, federally funded under ARPA/HUD/FTA with Davis-Bacon and Section 3 labor requirements, $1 million–$2 million professional liability insurance, contract value not specified but estimated annual spend approximately $240,000–$350,000 range based on comparable procurements); Williamson County (Texas) IFB 26IFB63 for EMS medical and pharmaceutical items, sealed bids due August 4, 2026; and Marion County (Florida) procurement 09SS-103 for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems (sole-source / authorized-vendor model, deadline May 11, 2026). Set-asides and local preferences appear frequently: Bernalillo County applies State Resident Business (5%), Native American (8%), Veteran (10%), Local (5%), Small Business (5%), and Pay Equity preferences (capped at 18% total); Tucson requires DBE participation and Section 3 labor minimums due to federal funding. Response windows are tight — typically 14–60 days from posting.
