UNSPSC 12141904: Oxygen O

UNSPSC 12141904 Oxygen O is a Commodity code covering the supply and delivery of medical-grade oxygen and related services—compressed cylinders, bulk liquid oxygen, tank rentals, hydrostatic testing, refills, and emergency delivery—to state and local health and emergency response operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments using this code to procure oxygen supplies for EMS agencies, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, water treatment plants, and emergency management divisions. Collier County Emergency Medical Services, the City of Sanford, the City of Philadelphia, Gwinnett County, Fort Bend County, Williamson County, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission have all posted opportunities under this code within the past four months. Issuing bodies span county EMS departments, municipal emergency services, state health agencies, and healthcare facilities. The work ranges from standing oxygen rental and refill contracts with firm, fixed pricing to one-time equipment installations such as cascade system replacements and emergency procurement for short-term needs.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in California, Connecticut, Washington, Illinois, and Georgia. The City of Austin's IFB for compressed medical-grade oxygen cylinders with delivery across ten EMS locations (due June 18, 2026) exemplifies routine municipal procurement; Collier County's RFQ for medical-grade oxygen supplies and hurricane rental capacity (due October 8, 2026) shows county-level emergency preparedness buying. Fort Bend County (September 8, 2026) and Williamson County (July 30, 2026) both solicited medical oxygen for EMS operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for oxygen refills and cylinder rentals to Terrell State Hospital (due July 27, 2026, estimated value $31,520 for twelve months). Opportunities cluster around annual term contracts with one to five renewal options and firm-fixed pricing, though emergency procurements such as Illinois's 13-week bulk oxygen and E-tank rental (small purchase with emergency conditions, due July 20, 2026) appear periodically. Vendors typically must carry workers' compensation and general liability insurance, maintain current business licenses and relevant certifications (FDA, OSHA compliance where applicable), and provide emergency delivery or after-hours availability as a core capability. Pre-bid meetings are infrequent; most solicitations use online bidding portals and award to the lowest responsive bid.
