UNSPSC 42272223 Breathing apparatus accessories or supplies is a Commodity code covering the filling, maintenance, repair, hydrostatic testing, and inspection services for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) units, air bottles, scuba equipment, and related pressurized gas containers used by emergency response and public safety agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand from county sheriff departments, emergency management agencies, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles for recurring maintenance and specialized repair services rather than equipment purchase alone. Issuing bodies include county sheriff offices, school districts sourcing emergency equipment, and state-level cooperative purchasing consortia such as NASPO ValuePoint that aggregate demand across multiple public entities. The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner, for example, regularly solicits maintenance and repair services for SCBA bottles, scuba diving air tanks, and oxygen medical bottles used across eight county facilities, while the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners sought three-year maintenance and repair contracts for medical ventilators requiring certified technicians and authorized service-center status.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Florida, and Idaho, with cooperative purchasing vehicles spanning multistate jurisdictions. The County of Orange IFB for SCBA and air bottle filling, maintenance, and repair (IFB0603039901AA) closed June 11, 2026, requiring a service facility within 20 miles of Santa Ana, five-day turnaround for hydrostatic testing, and California contractor licensing. The City of Augusta, Georgia ITB 26-177 for energy recovery ventilator repair at a detention center (due October 9, 2026) illustrates municipal facility maintenance demand, though it does not directly address breathing apparatus. The Hillsborough County ITB 26-00275 for Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance (due June 12, 2026, estimated value $140,225 over three years) required ISO 13485:2016 certification and AAMI-certified technicians. NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (due November 9, 2026) for medical supplies, sponsored by Idaho state agencies, reflects broader cooperative framework activity but does not isolate breathing apparatus as a distinct line item; the available posting summary does not specify whether breathing apparatus accessories are included in the medical supplies scope.
