UNSPSC 42272205: Intensive care ventilators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an appliance for artificial respiration used in the intensive care unit in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Intensive care ventilators under 21 CFR 868.5895 and under FDA product code CBK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42272205 Intensive care ventilators is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span medical supplies, emergency equipment repair, and facility infrastructure that bear little relationship to the code's nominal scope. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00275 in May 2026 seeking maintenance and repair services for 40 County-owned Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators over three years with bids due June 12, 2026—the most directly relevant opportunity. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 26-177 in September 2026 for repair of two energy recovery ventilators (HVAC units, not medical devices) at a detention center; Mt. San Antonio Community College District requested proposals for a large tension-fabric tent structure; and Cobb County School District solicited AED equipment and accessories in two separate quotes. The NASPO ValuePoint RFPs posted in September and October 2026 for medical supplies through cooperative purchasing, with responses due November 9, 2026, establish master agreements across multiple states but do not specify intensive care ventilators as a line item.

Activity under this code shows limited and scattered alignment with the commodity definition. The Hillsborough County maintenance contract represents the clearest signal—a three-year engagement covering preventative maintenance every two years or 10,000 hours, six-year maintenance services, battery replacements, and repairs on a fleet of intensive care ventilators, with an estimated value of $140,225 and payment within 45 days of invoice approval. Vendors must hold ISO 13485:2016 certification and deploy AAMI-certified technicians (CABT, CBET, or CHTM). Hillsborough County also requires comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance, E-Verify compliance, and drug-free workplace certification per Florida Statute 287.087. Beyond that single, well-defined opportunity in Florida, the code shows no consistent recent activity; the NASPO ValuePoint master agreements and remaining opportunities appear mistagged and do not reflect active demand for intensive care ventilators themselves in state and local procurement today.
