UNSPSC 85161502: Medical minor equipment maintenance or repair

These services are for repair and or maintenance of small, low asset value medical equipment. These may include mobile BP units, IPPB units, etc.

UNSPSC 85161502 Medical minor equipment maintenance or repair (Commodity) encompasses field maintenance, repair, calibration, and parts replacement for a diverse array of clinical diagnostic and patient-care equipment—ultrasound systems, cardiac monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, hospital beds, automated external defibrillators, and specialized laboratory instruments—across state agencies, county health systems, municipal fire and rescue departments, independent school districts, and nonprofit healthcare providers. State and local procurement offices solicit under this code when equipment fails, warranty expires, or preventive maintenance cycles begin; the work spans routine inspections and parts swaps to emergency repairs and full-service maintenance agreements with guaranteed uptime commitments. Issuing bodies range from state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of State Health Services) to county commissioners, municipalities, and educational institutions. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has posted multiple preventive-maintenance-and-repair solicitations for durable medical equipment at state hospitals and supported living centers; county boards of commissioners sourcing maintenance for fire-rescue and healthcare facilities; and state university medical centers procuring service contracts on capital medical equipment.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, Illinois, and Florida, with recent solicitations from Bryan County, Georgia; Sarasota County, Florida; Hillsborough County, Florida; San Bernardino County, California; and Collier County, Florida.
