UNSPSC 42271651 Compressible self-refilling ventilation bag is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows minimal direct activity aligned with the product's nominal scope. The code's name refers to emergency respiratory equipment — specifically self-inflating bag-valve-mask devices used in medical and occupational health settings — yet the only recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are occupational medical surveillance services and law enforcement equipment procurement, neither of which centers on ventilation bag procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requesting baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 ferry terminals, with examinations to be performed or supervised by a licensed occupational medicine physician. The occupational medical surveillance work spans a two-year term with a five-year extension option, but the RFP does not specify ventilation bag procurement as a line item within the examinations scope. The second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, is a cooperative purchasing vehicle open to multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions nationwide but again centers on law enforcement equipment rather than medical or respiratory supplies.

The code shows activity in Washington State, with both recent opportunities emanating from Washington issuers, though the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle extends potential reach to multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope — compressible self-refilling ventilation bags — and the occupational health and law enforcement procurement represented in recent postings, this code does not currently reflect active state and local demand for ventilation bag products themselves. Firms supplying this category should monitor whether future occupational health and emergency medical service procurement from health departments, fire districts, or emergency management agencies tag this code more accurately, or consider whether this code assignment reflects a data entry error rather than substantive procurement activity.
