UNSPSC 12141904: Oxygen O

UNSPSC 12141904 Oxygen O is a Commodity code that covers the supply, delivery, and rental of medical-grade and industrial oxygen in compressed and liquid forms, along with associated cylinder rental and exchange services. State and local governments procure oxygen primarily through emergency medical services, fire departments, hospitals, water treatment facilities, and state health agencies. Recent solicitations show a mix of medical-grade oxygen for EMS and emergency response, industrial oxygen for water treatment operations, and specialty medical gases bundled with cylinder management services. Williamson County EMS (Texas), the City of Austin, the Detroit Fire Department, and the City of Sanford (Florida) have all posted recent solicitations for compressed medical-grade oxygen with delivery and tank-exchange logistics; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has solicited for medical gases and cylinder rentals supporting state hospital operations; and the Alameda County Water District and City of Sanford have solicited for bulk liquid oxygen serving water treatment plants. The issuing bodies span county health authorities, municipal fire and EMS departments, city purchasing offices, special-purpose water districts, and state health agencies.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Michigan, California, and Arkansas, with Texas showing the heaviest recent volume across multiple state agencies and local jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Williamson County EMS's IFB 26IFB58 for medical-grade oxygen (due July 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017583 for medical gases and cylinder rentals to Terrell State Hospital with an estimated contract value of $31,520.00 for a 12-month term beginning September 1, 2026 (due July 27, 2026), the City of Austin's rebid IFB 5000 JRN1037 REBID for compressed medical-grade oxygen across ten distribution locations with local business and small business preferences (due June 18, 2026), and the Alameda County Water District's IFB 25/26-29 for liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide delivery to its water treatment facility with a two-year base term (due May 1, 2026). Pricing structures vary from unit-based and monthly rental fees to firm fixed-price contracts with annual CPI adjustments; most solicitations require 24-hour or 2-hour emergency delivery capability, proof of prior experience, commercial general liability insurance, and compliance with state and federal gas handling regulations.
