UNSPSC 42272525: Gaseous-phase anesthetic concentration desflurane gas analyzers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that analyzes anesthetic concentration desflurane gas in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42272525 Gaseous-phase anesthetic concentration desflurane gas analyzers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect broader medical-supplies procurement, emergency-response equipment purchasing (AEDs and batteries), facilities maintenance and repair (ventilator servicing, energy recovery ventilator repairs), temporary tent structures for community colleges, and law enforcement equipment — none of which directly connect to anesthetic gas analysis. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to opportunities that fall outside specialized operating-room or anesthesiology contexts.

The available records show activity from school districts (Cobb County School District, Mt. San Antonio Community College District), county agencies (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, City of Augusta Georgia, and multiple Washington counties via Sourcewell), and state cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, Washington, Idaho, and South Dakota. Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00275 for three-year ventilator maintenance and repair services ($140,225 estimated value, bids due June 12, 2026), Cobb County School District's RFQ for AEDs and accessories (approximately $50,000, quotes due July 27, 2026), and NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies through a cooperative master-agreement framework (proposals due November 9, 2026). The code itself does not generate actionable procurement signals at present given the mismatch between its defined scope and the opportunities being tagged under it.
