UNSPSC 42191713: Surgical compressed air tank accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with surgical compressed air tanks. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 841430.

UNSPSC 42191713 Surgical compressed air tank accessories (Commodity) covers gases, testing compounds, and related equipment for compressed-gas systems used in transit fleets, environmental remediation, medical surveillance, and forensic operations. State and local governments procure these items primarily through transit authorities, city environmental divisions, state transportation departments, county health agencies, and specialized public institutions. Recent opportunities show compressed natural gas and testing gases for transit buses, refrigerant extraction and documentation services for sustainability campuses, and specialty industrial gases for forensic laboratories. The work encompasses supply contracts with recurring delivery requirements, specialized extraction and reclamation services requiring EPA or occupational-health certifications, and multi-year agreements with cost-per-unit or hourly labor pricing structures.

Recent activity spans California, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 260542 in October 2026 for test and operation gases for CNG buses and facilities, with bids due October 27, 2026 and a $100,000 budget for two years; delivery goes to two facilities in Garden Grove and Santa Ana, California, and the contract includes prevailing-wage and DBE requirements. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services requiring EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due September 19, 2024. Collin College in Texas posted two separate welding-materials ITBs (FY2024-ITB-020 and FY2024-ITB-024) in July 2026 covering three-year terms and approximately $400,000 annual volume, though these appear tangentially related to the UNSPSC code's surgical compressed-air focus. Harris County Institute of Forensic Science solicited specialty chemicals and industrial gases through ITB 260132 in June 2026, due July 20, 2026, for a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026. The code shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitations.
