UNSPSC 42271507: Arterial blood sampling 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 an arterial blood sampling procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 847982.

UNSPSC 42271507 Arterial blood sampling kits is a Commodity code that nominally names single-use medical sampling devices, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with that scope. The opportunities span healthcare analytics platforms, law enforcement equipment, school food service monitoring systems, emergency medical response equipment accessories, hospital coding audits, and audiovisual surveillance — none of which involve arterial blood sampling. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all tag for diverse health and safety equipment and services rather than purchasing the specific product the code name describes. The issuing bodies across the recent postings include county healthcare districts, county commissioners' offices, school districts, state agencies, and special-purpose districts, reflecting the broadness of what gets classified under the code's label despite the narrower commodity definition.

Geographic activity is dispersed across multiple states: Texas (Central Health, Travis County Healthcare District); Florida (Marion County); Georgia (Jones County School District); Minnesota (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of participating entities in Washington state and nationally); California (State of California); and San Mateo County. The most concrete recent opportunity directly relevant to medical sampling or clinical equipment is Marion County, Florida's re-solicitation (RFP 21044, due May 6, 2026) for blood pressure cuffs, hoses, and accessories for the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator used by Marion County Fire Rescue — a narrow, equipment-specific procurement with Technicuff Corp. currently designated as sole source. Beyond that, the code shows limited recent procurement activity aligned with arterial blood sampling itself; most tagged opportunities address unrelated categories and do not represent a coherent market opportunity under the code's nominal definition.
