UNSPSC 42143502: Nasal and sinus irrigation or dilation devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with ear nose throat Ent examining mirrors. US FDA regulates Nasal irrigation devices under 21 CFR 874.4420 and under FDA product code KAR. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42143502 Nasal and sinus irrigation or dilation devices is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with that scope. The Collier County, Florida Notice of Intent to Single Source (PUR17682, posted July 30, 2026) concerns the GlideScope Go 2 handheld video laryngoscope—an airway-management device used in anesthesia and emergency medicine, not nasal or sinus treatment. The Santa Clara County ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories (ITB-PRC-FY26-0664, posted June 21, 2026, due July 10, 2026) addresses eye-care equipment and supplies, unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) addresses tactical and protective gear across multiple Washington and Minnesota counties, also outside this code's definition. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the recent solicitations suggests either tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement systems or that this code sees little relevant activity in current opportunities.

The code shows limited concrete recent activity aligned with nasal and sinus irrigation or dilation devices under state and local procurement. No recent opportunities in the source document directly solicit the medical devices, consumables, or related supplies that would typically fall under this Commodity code. When state and local procurement offices do tag opportunities with this code, they appear to be applying it broadly to medical equipment categories rather than narrowly to nasal and sinus procedures. Firms evaluating this code should verify opportunity relevance at the RFP or ITB line-item level rather than relying on the UNSPSC tag alone, as the mismatch between code definition and posted solicitations limits its utility as a navigation tool for this specific device category in the current market.
