UNSPSC 42272505: Gas anesthesia apparatus tubes or tubing assemblies or tube fittings

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a tube or tubing used by gas anesthesia apparatus in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42272505 Gas anesthesia apparatus tubes or tubing assemblies or tube fittings is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope—the opportunities include cooperative-purchasing medical supplies, energy recovery ventilator repairs, tent purchases, automated external defibrillators, ventilator maintenance, and law enforcement equipment, none of which center on anesthesia gas delivery tubing or fittings. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the posted solicitations appear to reflect broad tagging issues within state and local procurement systems rather than substantive demand for gas anesthesia apparatus components.

The two NASPO ValuePoint RFPs (NVP1433, due November 9, 2026, administered by Idaho and South Dakota respectively) establish master agreements for medical supplies across multiple commodity categories through a multi-state cooperative vehicle open to state and local entities nationwide, but neither specifies anesthesia gas tubing as a distinct line item. The remaining opportunities—Hillsborough County's Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilator maintenance contract (ITB 26-00275, estimated $140,225 over three years), Cobb County School District's AED and accessory quotes (approximately $50,000), and the City of Augusta's energy recovery ventilator repairs—are categorically unrelated to the code's anesthesia-tubing scope. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether anesthesia gas apparatus tubing is actually being procured under this code designation or whether the tagging reflects data-entry error rather than genuine opportunity volume in this commodity line.
