UNSPSC 42271723: Oxygen tents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tent like enclosure within which the air supply can be enriched with oxygen to aid a patient's breathing in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271723 Oxygen tents is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities on record show substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting. The code name implies respiratory medical equipment—specifically oxygen delivery tents—yet the six recent opportunities tagged under this code span tension fabric structures for outdoor events, automated external defibrillators, ventilator maintenance and repair, law enforcement equipment, educational instructional resources, medical ventilators for training programs, disaster emergency response resources, medical ventilator parts, and fire rescue medical and first aid supplies. Only two of the six opportunities (Georgia Northwestern Technical College's Getinge Servo-u Ventilator purchase and the City of Tampa's Autovent parts procurement) involve medical ventilation equipment at all, and neither is an oxygen tent. The issuing bodies include community colleges, school districts, county boards of commissioners, a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and city fire departments—a wide mix of educational, municipal, and emergency-response jurisdictions. The geographic spread touches California, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, and Washington, but with no concentration pattern evident from this small sample.

The one opportunity plainly related to the code's stated scope is the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's procurement of Autovent Parts and Equipment (Bid 25-P-00175, ITB, due April 21, 2025) for Control Modules, Ventilation Circuits, and Oxygen Hoses totaling approximately $70,000 and offering a 5% bid discount for Small Local Business Enterprises and women and minority-owned enterprises. However, that solicitation closed in April 2025 and is now historical. The most recent opportunity with an active response date is Mt. San Antonio Community College District's RFQ 2026-070 for a tension fabric tent structure (due July 6, 2026), which has no connection to the code's intended scope. The code shows little genuine recent activity in oxygen tents or related respiratory equipment delivery systems for state and local procurement.
