UNSPSC 42272207: High frequency ventilators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an high frequency appliance for artificial respiration in a medical setting. US FDA regulates High frequency 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 42272207 High frequency ventilators is a Commodity code that covers medical ventilator equipment and related maintenance and repair services procured by state and local government entities. State and local governments buy ventilators themselves, preventative maintenance contracts for existing ventilator fleets, component repairs, and emergency service calls on deployed equipment — typically for county detention facilities, state health departments, hospital systems operated by public authorities, and school districts stocking emergency medical equipment.

Recent activity shows a small issuing-body mix: county commissioners purchasing maintenance contracts on deployed ventilator fleets, detention facilities requesting repair services on specific units, school districts procuring AED equipment (which appears mislabeled under this code), and state agencies using cooperative purchasing vehicles to aggregate medical supplies across multiple jurisdictions. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00275 in May 2026 for three years of preventative maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators, with an estimated contract value of $140,225 and a June 12, 2026 bid-due date; the City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 26-177 in September 2026 for repair of two energy recovery ventilators at a detention center, with sealed bids due October 9, 2026. Two NASPO ValuePoint RFPs posted in September and October 2026 (due November 9, 2026) establish master agreements for medical supplies across multiple states and participating public entities, though the specific commodity categories and estimated values are not detailed in available documentation. Geographic activity centers on Florida, Georgia, and the NASPO ValuePoint multistate consortium; the code shows limited recent activity overall, with most identified solicitations focused on maintenance and repair rather than new equipment procurement.
