UNSPSC 42172017 Mobile medical services field medical or laboratory medical equipment kits or related products is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure emergency medical equipment, consumables, and field kits — primarily automated chest compression devices, intraosseous infusion systems, ventilator supplies, AED batteries, pharmaceuticals, trauma supplies, airway management devices, and integrated vending platforms for EMS operations. Issuing bodies span county health departments and emergency services (Escambia County EMS, Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue), municipal fire departments (City of Tucson Fire, City of Dallas, Orange County Fire Rescue), specialized hospital-affiliated EMS programs (University Medical Center of El Paso), state health authorities (Ohio Board of Health), transit agencies (Washington State Ferries), and county purchasing cooperatives serving multi-jurisdictional needs. Repeat buyers include Florida counties (Sarasota, Collier, Escambia, Orange) and Texas jurisdictions (Bernalillo County, Williamson County, El Paso) that solicit EMS supplies on recurring annual or multi-year contracts. The code reflects actual procurement across automated resuscitation devices (AutoPulse NXT, Cardiac Science AED batteries), intraosseous infusion kits (EZ-IO needles and drills from Teleflex and Vidacare), ventilator consumables (Hamilton Medical circuit tubing and canisters), broad EMS supply catalogs (trauma dressings, airway devices, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic equipment), and enterprise vending and inventory management platforms integrated with EMS field operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota, Collier, Escambia, Orange, Volusia), Texas (Bernalillo, Williamson, El Paso, Tucson, Dallas), Georgia (Forsyth, Henry, White, South Fulton), and Ohio, with secondary activity in Washington and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include Escambia County EMS requesting bids on Hamilton Medical consumables under sole-source procurement due September 29, 2026; City of Tucson Fire Department RFP for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and VendNovation vending platforms due June 24, 2026 with federal ARPA and DBE compliance; Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue RFB for approximately 266 EMS medical products with estimated annual value of $240,000 due May 21, 2026; and Orange County Fire Rescue seeking bids on 94 line items of EMS equipment for a five-year term with responses due October 14, 2025. Sole-source and authorized-distributor-only procurements are common when jurisdictions standardize on specific platforms (Zoll AutoPulse, Hamilton ventilators, Teleflex EZ-IO), whereas general EMS supply contracts award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders and often include local vendor, minority business, and small business preferences where applicable.
