UNSPSC 85160000: Medical Surgical Equipment Maintenance Refurbishment and Repair Services

Services provided to repair and maintain medical and surgical products and instruments.

UNSPSC 85160000 Medical Surgical Equipment Maintenance Refurbishment and Repair Services is a Family code that encompasses state and local procurement of preventive maintenance, repair, calibration, and refurbishment services for medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment across hospitals, clinics, state-supported living centers, emergency services, and educational institutions. Recent solicitations show active demand for maintenance agreements on ultrasound systems, ventilators, cardiac monitors, infusion pumps, hospital beds, EMS equipment, building automation systems, and specialized medical devices; refurbishment of mobile medical units; and biomedical technician services requiring CBET or equivalent certifications. State and local healthcare agencies, state departments of health and human services, university medical centers, county fire rescue, and school-based medical programs are the primary issuing bodies, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Orange County (California) Health Care Agency, and various state departments of veterans affairs appearing frequently as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

Activity spans Texas, California, Illinois, Florida, and Minnesota with notable concentration in Texas state health facilities and California county healthcare systems. Recent representative opportunities include Auburn University's RFB for 38-foot medical mobile unit refurbishment (sealed bids, October 28, 2026 response); Valencia College's sole-source procurement of a Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System (November 13, 2025 response); Texas Health and Human Services' IFB for biomedical services on durable medical equipment at multiple state-supported living centers (spanning July through August 2026 responses); San Bernardino County Arrowhead Regional Medical Center's RFP for preventive maintenance and probe coverage on Philips ultrasound systems (July 21, 2026 response); and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians (October 9, 2026 response). Sole-source and brand-name-only procurements are common when equipment is proprietary or service delivery requires original equipment manufacturer authorization, while competitive bids and RFPs dominate when multiple vendors hold required certifications. Set-asides for small business, minority business, women-owned, disabled veteran, and local vendor preferences appear selectively across California county procurements and some Texas state buys. Contract values range from $15,000 to $12.6 million depending on scope, equipment volume, and term length, with most state health facility maintenance running $50,000 to $200,000 annually.
