UNSPSC 42172008: Mobile medical services rappel 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 rappelling procedures by mobile medical personnel in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42172008 Mobile medical services rappel kits (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitations in the source material. The available opportunities tagged under or near this code consistently solicit Emergency Medical Services (EMS) medical supplies, equipment, pharmaceuticals, and infrastructure—including airway management devices, trauma dressings, IV administration sets, diagnostic equipment, ventilators, stretchers, ultrasound systems, and vending machine platforms—but do not include rappel kits or specialized technical rescue equipment. Williamson County, Texas (IFB 26IFB63, due August 4, 2026) and Henry County, Georgia (BID 26-34, due April 8, 2026) both seek general EMS medical and pharmaceutical items. The City of Dallas (IFSDFDB2500034, due July 13, 2026), Orange County, Florida (Y25-1067-KS, due October 14, 2025), and Bernalillo County, New Mexico (RFB 46-26-JM, due May 21, 2026) procure comprehensive medical supplies inventories spanning hundreds of line items for fire rescue and EMS operations. The City of Tucson (26SS60, due June 24, 2026, federally funded through ARPA, HUD, and FTA) seeks BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and vending machines with software integration.

The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The mismatch between the commodity's nominal scope (rappel kits for technical rescue) and the actual procurement patterns (routine EMS medical goods and services) suggests either miscoding in the source material or that mobile medical services rappel kits represent a niche or sporadic procurement category with no current market visibility among the jurisdictions active in emergency medical services contracting. Buyers in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, and California are actively procuring EMS medical products, equipment, and related services under broader medical supplies codes, but no issuing body in the available opportunities has solicited technical rescue rappel systems or similar specialized equipment. If pursuing this code, a vendor should verify the actual UNSPSC classification with procurement offices or focus on jurisdictions with high-altitude or swiftwater rescue programs not yet represented in this dataset.
