Most Austin Air orders from a department fail for a boring reason. The quote names “Austin Air purifier” and leaves out the model, the color, and the filter. Those three decide whether the unit handles dust, formaldehyde, or pet odor, and whether the replacement cartridge will fit. Security Pro USA sells these at MAP. The way an agency buys one is a quote on GSA contract GS-07F-0577T, CAGE 3R0M2.
Pick the machine by the air problem
| Problem | Quote this | Filter to stock with it |
|---|---|---|
| Dust, pollen, ordinary odors, a squad room or office | HealthMate HM400. Sandstone B400A1 or black B400B1. | FR400 |
| Wildfire smoke, new paint, new furniture, formaldehyde | HealthMate Plus. B450A1 or B450B1. | FR450 |
| A bedroom, a small office, or a chemical-sensitive occupant | Bedroom Machine. B402A1 or B402B1. | FR402 |
| Pollen and dander, not a heavy gas load | Allergy Machine. B405A1 or B405B1. | FR405 |
| Kennel, animal room, litter odor | A standard cabinet plus the Pet filter, if you are not replacing a Pet Machine you already own. | FR410 |
| One small room, HM200 already on site | Do not quote a standard cabinet filter. | FR200 |
Austin Air lists a standard cabinet for about 1,500 sq. ft. at one air change per hour. Evidence rooms, ranges, and intake areas usually need the unit sized for faster turnover. When in doubt, quote two units rather than one oversized claim.
Color is a part number
The pre-filter shows through the grille. White (the B suffix on most filter SKUs) is for sandstone, silver, and white cabinets. Black (usually the A suffix) is for black and midnight blue. A black wrap on a sandstone unit is the wrong SKU, not a cosmetic choice.
What not to mix up
- FR400 and FR450 look alike. Only FR450 has the impregnated carbon for formaldehyde and wildfire chemicals.
- FR402 is the five-stage Bedroom filter. It also drops into a standard HealthMate, Plus, or Allergy cabinet if you are upgrading a unit you already have.
- FR405 is HEPA plus HEGA cloth. It is not the 15 lb carbon bed.
- FR200 fits the Junior only. A 23-inch cabinet needs a standard cartridge.
- There is no ionizer in these units. Do not add an ozone generator to the quote.
How to send the quote
Use the quote form and include four lines: model, color SKU, quantity, and whether you also want a spare filter. Purchase orders and Net-30 are available for qualified departments. The full lineup is on the Austin Air collection. For why these cabinets show up in evidence rooms and ranges, read why facilities that cannot afford a miss choose Austin Air.
Questions we get on quotes
Is the price on the site the GSA price?
The site price is MAP, the minimum Austin Air allows a dealer to advertise. Agency pricing on a quantity quote can differ. Ask. Do not expect a public price under MAP.
How long does the filter last?
Austin Air designs the cartridge for up to five years of normal residential use and pro-rates the filter warranty across those years. A range, a property room, or a wildfire season is not normal residential use. Plan on checking it sooner.
Are the clinical studies yours?
No. Johns Hopkins, Cincinnati Children’s, and the other trials Austin Air cites were run on Austin Air equipment by those institutions. Security Pro USA did not run them.
