UNSPSC 42143500: Ear nose and throat ENT treatment products and accessories

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in ear, nose and throat based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42143500 Ear nose and throat ENT treatment products and accessories is a Class code covering handheld diagnostic and surgical instruments, medical device accessories, and consumables used in otolaryngology departments and specialty clinics within state and local healthcare systems. Recent solicitations show state and local health departments, county hospital systems, and specialty medical centers procuring video laryngoscopes, ophthalmic instruments, and associated capital equipment and consumables through single-source and competitive bid vehicles. The mix of issuing bodies includes county health authorities operating specialty centers and stand-alone procurement cooperatives serving multiple participating jurisdictions.

Recent activity centers on Florida and California. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source procurement (PUR17682) for GlideScope Go 2 handheld video laryngoscopes, medical device accessories, capital equipment, and consumables from Verathon Inc., with a challenge deadline of May 11, 2026, and a proposed contract term running May 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The County of Santa Clara, California released an Invitation to Bid (ITB-PRC-FY26-0664) on June 21, 2026, for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories to supply the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments, with bids due July 10, 2026, and a three-year contract term; the ITB requires all-or-none bidding, mandates that awardees be qualified distributors or manufacturers and authorized service providers, and may require evaluation units for validation. A third opportunity posted by Sourcewell (RFP #061626) on May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment appears unrelated to the ENT code's scope and does not reflect relevant recent activity under this classification.
