UNSPSC 42272501: Gas anesthesia apparatus or machines

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a apparatus or machine used to dispense anesthesia during an anesthetic procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42272501 Gas anesthesia apparatus or machines (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned to its scope, with the most visible state and local opportunities focused instead on broader medical supplies cooperative purchasing, automated external defibrifiers, ventilator repair services, and law enforcement equipment. The opportunities posted under this code do not substantively reflect procurement of gas anesthesia apparatus or gas delivery systems for surgical or clinical use. State and local governments procure anesthesia equipment through both direct purchases and cooperative-purchasing agreements, typically via health departments, hospital systems, and healthcare facility procurement offices, but the recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity code do not reflect that activity.

The NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 (due November 9, 2026) is a multi-state cooperative-purchasing master-agreement for medical supplies with Idaho as the administering entity, spanning state and local government buyers; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB (ITB 26-00275, closed June 12, 2026) for three-year maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators with an estimated contract value of $140,225, requiring authorized service center status and AAMI certification; and Cobb County School District posted RFQs for Automated External Defibrillators and accessories (approximately $50,000, June and July 2026). Procurement activity under this code appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with broader multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell and NASPO ValuePoint. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted suggests limited current state and local procurement specifically targeting gas anesthesia delivery apparatus, or misclassification in the source records.
