UNSPSC 42271805 Respiratory humidifier or vaporizer accessories is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses far broader respiratory protection equipment than the code name suggests—specifically Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units, powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) kits with replacement cartridges, full-face respirator masks, filters, and related protective components. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county sheriff's offices, county water resources departments, city fire departments, county boards of commissioners, and state health and human services agencies. The work being solicited ranges from one-time replacements of expired SCBA inventory to regional framework agreements for emergency responder equipment and long-term durable medical equipment contracts serving populations with severe disabilities.
