UNSPSC 41104209: Deoxiders

UNSPSC 41104209 Deoxiders is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure medical-grade oxygen and related gases for emergency response, healthcare, and industrial applications. The recent activity shows fire departments and emergency medical services as primary buyers, soliciting bulk oxygen supply contracts with delivery and tank-management services. The City of Detroit Fire Department, through its Office of Contracting and Procurement, issued an RFQ in April 2026 for medical-grade oxygen in "H" size tanks on a two-year contract, requiring approximately 1,400 tanks annually with weekly delivery or 24-hour emergency response capability, full tank-leasing and demurrage management, hydrostatic testing, and compliance with OSHA safety requirements.

The code shows limited recent posting activity; the Detroit opportunity is the only documented state or local solicitation in the available window. Detroit's procurement uses a lowest-equalized-bid methodology with local-preference certifications (Detroit-Based, Detroit Resident Business, Detroit-Based Small Business, and Micro Business designations carrying equalization allowances of 1 to 5 percent), a firm-price structure with NET 30 payment terms, and stringent insurance and financial-documentation requirements including $1,000,000 in combined liability coverage and three years of audited financials. Vendors must be registered in the City's Oracle Supplier Portal and demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience providing similar services. The RFQ closed April 24, 2026, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. No overall budget or award value is disclosed in the solicitation.
