UNSPSC 42272216: Ventilator thermometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an thermometer for an appliance for artificial respiration in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902511.

UNSPSC 42272216 Ventilator thermometers is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—temperature-measurement devices for ventilation systems—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. Of the seven opportunities identified, only one involves ventilators at all: Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00275 for maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators over three years, with bids due June 12, 2026—but that solicitation addresses service contracts, not thermometers. The remaining six opportunities span energy recovery ventilator component repair (City of Augusta, Georgia), medical supplies frameworks (NASPO ValuePoint RFPs), temporary tent structures (Mt. San Antonio Community College District), automated external defibrillators and accessories (Cobb County School District), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). These represent either different product categories entirely or ventilator-related work outside the thermometer commodity.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope signals either tagging error or very limited state and local demand specifically for ventilator thermometers as standalone products. Vendors evaluating this code should verify whether recent opportunities truly require ventilator thermometers or whether the code assignment reflects administrative artifact rather than actionable procurement intent. The Hillsborough County ventilator maintenance contract—the most topically relevant opportunity—is structured as authorized-service-center work requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and AAMI technician credentials, not thermometer supply. No opportunities post a direct solicitation for ventilator temperature-monitoring equipment, and no issuing body has named this Commodity as a purchase target in recent months.
