UNSPSC 42222303 Blood administration or transfusion identification systems is a Commodity code that covers blood transfusion equipment and associated consumables for medical transport and emergency care delivery. State and local governments procure under this code primary equipment like blood warmers, specialized infusion systems, and transport-specific medical bags designed to support emergency medical services operations and hospital transfusion protocols. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state-level emergency medical services boards and county fire rescue departments that operate 24/7 emergency response infrastructure. Bidders must typically hold specialized certifications or business-enterprise designations, meet stringent technical and safety standards, and be authorized distributors capable of managing backorder, recall, and chain-of-custody protocols for medical equipment and consumables.

Recent activity shows California's Emergency Medical Services Board (EMSB) posted an IFB for blood transfusion equipment under Measure B funding (RFBIS27200126), with bids due September 9, 2026, requiring Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status and specifying equipment to Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer system and T-SPEC Meret transport bag standards. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners also solicited under this code via ITB (ITB2600319) for janitorial and operational supplies supporting its 47-station Fire Rescue Department, with an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84 and bids due July 24, 2026—though that opportunity appears tangentially related to the code's primary scope. Activity concentrates in California and Florida, with the California EMSB representing the most directly relevant recent procurement aligned to the code's transfusion equipment focus.
