UNSPSC 42172001: Mobile medical services first aid kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform medical first aid procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Mobile medical services first aid kits under 21 CFR 878.4104 and under FDA product code LRR. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300650.

UNSPSC 42172001 Mobile medical services first aid kits (Commodity) covers emergency medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and equipment that state and local EMS and fire departments procure on a recurring basis—including airway management devices, trauma dressings, IV and medication delivery supplies, diagnostic equipment, cardiac devices, ventilator accessories, and consumable medical kits. State and local buyers under this code include county EMS operations, municipal fire departments, county health departments, and independent EMS providers, with significant activity from Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, and New Mexico jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show two patterns: routine managed procurement of general EMS medical supplies (often on an as-needed basis or annual contract cycle with one or more suppliers), and single-source or sole-source purchases of manufacturer-specific equipment—cardiac compression devices, handheld video laryngoscopes, intraosseous infusion systems, Hamilton Medical ventilator consumables, and AED batteries where the underlying asset lock-in drives the consumable purchase to the OEM or authorized distributor.

Representative recent activity includes Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue's RFB 46-26-JM (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026) for approximately 266 core EMS medical products with estimated annual usage of $240,000; Forsyth County, Georgia's ITB for first aid medical supplies on an as-needed basis for calendar year 2027 (posted September 1, 2026, due October 22, 2026); City of Tucson Fire Department's RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending machines with software support (posted August 13, 2026, due June 24, 2026, federally funded through ARPA and requiring DBE participation and Section 3 compliance); and Sarasota County's RFQ for 62 Cardiac Science G5 AED batteries manufactured in the current year with four-year manufacturer warranty (posted August 24, 2026, due August 21, 2026). Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Florida counties including Sarasota, Escambia, Orange, and Collier; Georgia counties including Forsyth and Henry) and Southwest (Bernalillo County New Mexico, City of Tucson Arizona, El Paso County Texas), with secondary activity in Ohio, Washington state, and Texas. Sole-source and manufacturer-specific procurements—Vidacare EZ-IO systems, Hamilton Medical consumables, Zoll AutoPulse NXT units, and Verathon GlideScope Go 2 laryngoscopes—represent a distinct high-value segment within the code, where vendor qualification and exclusivity dominate contract structure.
