UNSPSC 40142200: Fluid and gas regulators

UNSPSC 40142200 Fluid and gas regulators is a Class code under which state and local governments procure oxygen cascade systems, medical gas infrastructure, refrigerant recovery equipment, and atmospheric gas detection and monitoring instruments for emergency services, healthcare facilities, environmental compliance, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show work spanning removal and installation of oxygen systems at fire and EMS stations, inspection and certification of medical gas piping and equipment, extraction and documentation of refrigerant gases from collected appliances, and deployment of fixed atmospheric monitoring sensors at water and wastewater treatment facilities. The issuing bodies include county emergency services departments, city environmental divisions, county procurement offices, and special-purpose districts; the code also draws activity from state transportation and college-district maintenance programs.

Opportunities are concentrated in Florida, California, Arizona, and Washington, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County Emergency Medical Services' Quick Quote (QQ2026157) for oxygen cascade system replacement at four EMS stations, due October 15, 2026; the City of Tucson's RFP (240011) for EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and extraction services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a pre-submittal conference on March 19, 2024; the County of Santa Clara's ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0636) for medical gas inspection, certification, and preventative maintenance work with ASSE 6000 certification required, due October 7, 2026; and the City of Phoenix's IFB (IFB-27-0435) for atmospheric monitoring instruments and fixed gas detection systems across water and wastewater facilities, due September 4, 2026. Medical gas work typically requires ASSE 6000 or EPA certification and often triggers prevailing wage and federal compliance requirements (FTA DBE participation, 49 CFR Part 26). Equipment suppliers must stock replacement parts locally and provide technical training; many solicitations specify firm fixed pricing through a fiscal year term or multi-year contract with no surcharges.
