UNSPSC 42271720: Liquid oxygen converters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that converts liquid oxygen to gaseous oxygen for delivery to a patient in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271720 Liquid oxygen converters is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve liquid oxygen converters or related medical gas equipment; instead, they encompass tent structures, automated external defibrillators, ventilator maintenance and repair services, law enforcement equipment frameworks, career and technical education resources, medical ventilators for educational programs, emergency disaster response services, and medical consumables and first aid supplies. The Mt. San Antonio Community College District RFQ (#2026-070, due July 6, 2026) solicits a 25-meter by 30-meter tension fabric tent structure with aluminum framework and PVC-coated fabric, while the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department ITB (Bid 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) requests 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies including respiratory equipment, electrodes, endotracheal tubes, and oxygen delivery systems—none of which constitute liquid oxygen converters. The Commodity code does not reflect the actual scope of work being procured under it.

The issuing bodies include school districts, community colleges, county departments, cities, and cooperative purchasing entities across multiple states. The geographic spread spans California (Mt. San Antonio Community College District), Georgia (Georgia Northwestern Technical College), Florida (Hillsborough County, Collier County, City of Tampa), Texas (Klein Independent School District), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement in Washington and Minnesota (Sourcewell). No recent state and local solicitation activity directly matches the liquid oxygen converter classification, indicating that either the code is misapplied in source systems or procurement activity under this Commodity code is currently minimal.
