Have you tried to combine variables and session?

#+name: get-random-value
#+begin_src bash
  echo "$RANDOM"
#+end_src

#+header: :var random_var=get-random-value
#+begin_src sh :session *sh-with-random*
  echo "$random_var + 10"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 19545 + 10

#+begin_src sh :session *sh-with-random*
  echo "$random_var + 20"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 19545 + 20

#+begin_src sh :session *sh-with-random*
  echo "$random_var + 30"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 19545 + 30

Or with noweb reference


#+begin_src sh :noweb-ref use-random
  echo "$random_var + 10"
#+end_src

#+begin_src sh :noweb-ref use-random
  echo "$random_var + 20"
#+end_src

#+begin_src sh :noweb-ref use-random
  echo "$random_var + 30"
#+end_src

#+begin_src sh :var random_var=get-random-value :noweb yes
  <<use-random>>
#+end_src
