UNSPSC 42294603: Autotransfusion units

in this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a device used in autotrasfusion procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Autotransfusion units under 21 CFR 868.5830 and under FDA product code CAC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42294603 Autotransfusion units is a Commodity code that encompasses medical equipment and supplies used for blood recovery and reinfusion during surgical and trauma procedures. However, the most-recent state and local contract opportunities do not reflect purchases of autotransfusion equipment. The three opportunities posted between May and August 2026 include occupational medical surveillance services from the Washington State Department of Transportation, financial audit services from Galveston County, and law enforcement equipment procurement through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle — none of which involve autotransfusion units or related blood management equipment. The code shows no relevant recent activity in the state and local procurement market sampled here.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities suggests either a cataloging anomaly in the source data or that autotransfusion units are not currently a focus of state and local government procurement. Firms evaluating this code for business development should verify whether the opportunities have been miscoded at the source or whether procurement under this specific commodity line occurs through alternative channels, such as specialized healthcare cooperative purchasing agreements, direct hospital system contracts, or bundled surgical supply frameworks not captured in these recent postings.
