UNSPSC 42272208 Home care ventilators is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of ventilator equipment and related maintenance and repair services. Recent solicitations show the code is being used to buy both new ventilators for county and municipal facilities and ongoing service support for installed units. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB in May 2026 for three-year maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators, requiring an authorized service center with ISO 13485:2016 certification and certified technicians holding AAMI credentials (CABT, CBET, or CHTM). The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited bids in September 2026 under ITB 26-177 for repair of two Trane energy recovery ventilators at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center, with work including component replacement, electrical termination, and system startup verification. Both opportunities reflect the code's actual procurement focus on specialized respiratory and ventilation equipment maintenance performed by credentialed service providers.

Issuing bodies include county government facilities and municipal detention centers. Geographic activity centers on Florida (Hillsborough County) and Georgia (City of Augusta). The Hillsborough County opportunity represents the largest recent contract value tracked at $140,225 over three years with a service delivery requirement of 15 days from purchase order. The City of Augusta opportunity carried a response deadline of October 9, 2026, with optional site visits available and sealed bids submitted in original and digital formats. Cobb County School District appears in the dataset with AED solicitations, though those align to a different commodity code and do not reflect home care ventilator procurement. The code shows limited but recurring activity tied to equipment maintenance rather than high-volume equipment purchasing through cooperative vehicles like NASPO ValuePoint.
