UNSPSC 42294600: Autotransfusion products

In this classification, this class includes, instruments, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in autotrasfusion procedures.

UNSPSC 42294600 Autotransfusion products is a Class code that encompasses blood salvage equipment and related disposables used to collect, process, and reinfuse a patient's own blood during surgical or trauma procedures. State and local government procurement activity under this code, however, shows minimal recent direct solicitation for autotransfusion systems themselves. Instead, the recent opportunities block reveals that state and local buyers tag medical equipment, supplies, and related services procurement notices with this code even when the actual scope—such as MRO supplies, AED systems, laser surgical equipment, ophthalmic instruments, ventilator maintenance, pharmaceutical packaging systems, and emergency medical response items—bears no relationship to autotransfusion. The code appears to serve as a catch-all category for medical equipment and supplies procurement across state health departments, counties, cities, school districts, and specialized authorities rather than as a targeted commodity classification.

Geographic representation in the recent opportunities is scattered: Arizona (City of Tucson), Florida (Marion County, Hillsborough County, City of Palm Bay, Clay County, City of Dallas regional), California (San Mateo County, Los Angeles County, University of Wisconsin-Madison regional activity), Michigan (Huron Valley Schools), Georgia (Cobb County School District), Kentucky (City of Owensboro), Texas (TIPS framework, ESBD consortium), Minnesota (MMCAP cooperative), and New Hampshire (Department of Administrative Services). Repeat buyers across the block include San Mateo County Medical Center (appearing in three separate solicitations for surgical power, laser equipment, and GPO membership) and Cobb County School District (appearing twice for AED procurement). The code shows little focused activity—the City of Tucson's RFP 240078 for MRO supplies, Huron Valley Schools' RFQ for AED equipment and maintenance (September 25, 2026 response date), and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for ophthalmic instruments (July 10, 2026 response date) represent the largest, most recent competitive solicitations tagged to this classification. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests minimal pursuit opportunity under this code designation; vendors seeking autotransfusion business should monitor health system capital procurement channels directly rather than relying on state and local UNSPSC taxonomy.
