UNSPSC 42272100: Negative mechanical pressure ventilators

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in negative mechanical pressure ventilation based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42272100 Negative mechanical pressure ventilators is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source contains eight recent state and local opportunities, but only three address ventilator equipment or services directly: a purchase of a Getinge Servo-u ventilator by Georgia Northwestern Technical College (eRFQ, April 2026), maintenance and repair services for Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators by Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB, June 2026), and design services for unit ventilator replacement at East Hartford Public Schools (RFP, February 2026). The remaining five opportunities—a tension fabric tent structure, AED equipment, law enforcement equipment, career technical education resources, and fire rescue medical supplies—fall outside the ventilator category and do not reflect purchasing under this code's stated definition.

The three ventilator-related solicitations span a narrow geographic footprint: Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut. Hillsborough County's maintenance ITB for 40 LTV 1200 units over three years (estimated value $140,225) and East Hartford's design RFP for replacement of 34 unit ventilators represent the most substantive opportunities, both requiring specialized technical qualifications (ISO 13485 certification and AAMI credentials for the Hillsborough scope; Connecticut-licensed mechanical engineers for East Hartford). The Georgia Northwestern single-unit Getinge purchase is sole-brand procurement with no substitution permitted. These opportunities underscore that actual procurement under this code flows primarily through school districts, county health or facilities management, and technical colleges—buyers with medical or respiratory programs or aging HVAC infrastructure—rather than broad-based government purchasing. Activity is episodic and project-driven rather than continuous, suggesting a code with limited year-round pursuit potential.
