UNSPSC 42272201 Intermittent positive pressure breathing IPPB machines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the scope of respiratory equipment the code nominally describes. Instead, the recent solicitations center on broader medical supplies procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles, AED equipment and accessories for school districts, ventilator maintenance and repair services, energy recovery ventilator repair, tent structures, and law enforcement equipment — none of which align with IPPB machine procurement or supply. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; state and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting standalone IPPB machines or related respiratory-support devices at this time.

The two substantive medical-supply opportunities that do appear — NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 for Idaho medical supplies (due November 9, 2026) and Cobb County School District's recurring AED procurement (Q27009 and Q27027, with the most recent due July 27, 2026) — are categorical and do not specify IPPB equipment as a required commodity. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP, administered through South Dakota and open to multiple states, seeks master-agreement bidders across unspecified medical-supply categories; Cobb County's focus is limited to AED units, batteries, and accessories at approximately $50,000 per cycle. Without evidence of direct IPPB procurement demand in the recent-opportunity record, this code warrants watching rather than pursuing at present.
