UNSPSC 42272204 Transport ventilators is a Commodity code describing medical ventilators and related equipment that state and local governments procure for detention facilities, healthcare systems, and emergency preparedness. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing both capital equipment—medical-grade ventilators for facility operations—and maintenance and repair services to sustain existing installed units over multi-year periods. The scope includes preventative maintenance contracts for specific authorized ventilator models, emergency repair services, and framework agreements for medical supply distribution that encompass ventilators alongside broader medical equipment categories.

Issuing bodies include county detention facilities (Charles B. Webster Detention Center in Augusta, Georgia), county health and corrections departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health agencies via cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint), and school districts. Recent activity shows concentrated demand for authorized service and repair contracts, particularly for Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators; a Hillsborough County ITB 26-00275 closed June 12, 2026, seeking three years of maintenance and repair on 40 units with an estimated contract value of $140,225, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and AAMI-certified technicians. The City of Augusta issued ITB 26-177 (due October 9, 2026) for repair of two Trane energy recovery ventilators at a detention center. NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 (due November 9, 2026) establishes master agreements for medical supplies, including ventilators, across multiple states with South Dakota as the administering state. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and cooperative purchasing networks reaching multiple states; no concentration in a single region is evident from the recent opportunities block.
