UNSPSC 85161506: Medical or surgical reprocessed instruments equipment and related products

These services are used to reprocess medical and surgical products for additional use.

UNSPSC 85161506 Medical or surgical reprocessed instruments equipment and related products is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of maintenance, repair, and ancillary services for medical equipment rather than reprocessed instruments themselves. The recent opportunities show hospitals, state health agencies, and county governments soliciting preventive maintenance agreements, calibration and repair services, parts supply, and equipment replacement coverage for diagnostic imaging systems (ultrasound, CT), patient monitoring devices, ventilators, infusion pumps, cardiac monitors, and specialized clinical equipment across facility networks. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, California), county health systems (Hillsborough County, Sarasota County, San Bernardino County Arrowhead Regional Medical Center), city fire departments, and academic medical centers. The mix reflects both statewide consolidation—Texas HHSC manages multiple state-supported living centers and state hospitals under rolling annual procurement cycles—and local facility-specific buys tied to existing equipment platforms.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for biomedical services across state hospitals and supported living centers), Illinois (Veterans Affairs facilities pursuing building automation and nurse call system maintenance), California (brand-name-only CT and infusion pump service contracts), and Florida (Hillsborough County ventilator and medical equipment maintenance, Sarasota County AED batteries, Orange County EMS supplies). Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017184 for biomedical services on durable medical equipment (ventilators, EKGs, patient monitors, feeding pumps, IV pumps, hospital beds) at state facilities with an estimated historical spend of $1.5 million and a four-year term commencing September 1, 2026; San Bernardino County Arrowhead Regional Medical Center's RFP for preventive maintenance and probe coverage on 11 Philips ultrasound systems across three locations (responses due July 21, 2026); the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs' small purchase for building automation system maintenance at Manteno (proposals due June 25, 2026); and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00275 for maintenance and repair on 40 Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilators over three years at an estimated $140,225 (bids due June 12, 2026). Set-asides and preferences appear minimal across most opportunities, though Texas HHSC sometimes applies HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting goals, and California requires Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) forms. Sole-source and brand-name-only restrictions dominate when equipment is proprietary—Valencia College's $96,093 Philips Affiniti ultrasound sole-source buy, California's Siemens CT maintenance procurement, and Philadelphia's Ecolab BQ50 decontamination system maintenance illustrate locked vendor positioning tied to existing clinical platforms.
