UNSPSC 42272101 Iron lungs is a Commodity code that encompasses respiratory support equipment and related medical devices. State and local governments purchase under this code infrequently; the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code—cooperative medical supplies frameworks, AED procurement, ventilator maintenance, and energy recovery ventilator repairs—represent a significant mismatch with iron lungs as a product category. Iron lungs are speciality respiratory devices with extremely limited modern procurement activity in state and local government; the opportunities presented instead reflect broader medical equipment, emergency response devices, and HVAC systems that state agencies, school districts, and county facilities purchase far more routinely.

Geographic activity across the recent opportunities spans multiple regions including Idaho, South Dakota, Georgia, California, and Florida, reflecting the medical supplies and equipment procurement needs of state departments, county governments, and school districts nationwide. However, none of the recent opportunities shown target iron lungs specifically. Cobb County School District has posted two RFQs for AED equipment and accessories (Q27009, due July 6, 2026, and Q27027, due July 27, 2026) at approximately $50,000 each; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00275 for Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance and repair services at $140,225 over three years, due June 12, 2026; and NASPO ValuePoint posted RFP 1433 for master-agreement medical supplies through cooperatives, due November 9, 2026, administered by Idaho and South Dakota. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity, signaling either inactive or mistagged classification in current state and local buying patterns.
