UNSPSC 42272229 Anesthesia breathing circuits is a Commodity code that encompasses single-use and reusable breathing circuits and related respiratory accessories used in hospital operating rooms, intensive care units, and emergency departments. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct solicitation; the opportunities posted reflect broader medical-supplies cooperative purchasing agreements and unrelated institutional procurements rather than targeted anesthesia breathing circuit purchases. State and local governments acquire these items through existing statewide or regional medical-supply contracts and individual departmental orders rather than discrete solicitations.

The most relevant recent activity appears in NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1433, which Texas is posting on behalf of Idaho state agencies and other participating public entities in the cooperative purchasing consortium, with proposals due November 9, 2026. This master-agreement RFP establishes pricing and terms for medical supplies across multiple product categories, including anesthesia breathing circuits as one commodity line among many. Vendors must provide comprehensive product catalogs and competitive unit pricing; evaluation centers on qualifications and pricing competitiveness. The resulting contract will serve Idaho state agencies and other participating NASPO ValuePoint entities. Funding draws from individual agency budgets as items are ordered. Set-asides or preferences for small business, state-based vendors, or other designated groups may apply under state policy, though the overview does not specify which programs are active for this RFP. A bidders' conference may be scheduled. Beyond the NASPO vehicle, no other state or local solicitations in the recent-opportunities block target anesthesia breathing circuits directly; the remaining opportunities (ventilator repair, AED equipment, tent installation, law enforcement equipment) fall outside this code's scope.
