UNSPSC 42143519: Ear dressing kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is either an accessory or consumable associated with otological instruments. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300510.

UNSPSC 42143519 Ear dressing kits is a Commodity code with little recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no dressing kit purchases; instead, they span ophthalmic equipment (tonometers and video laryngoscopes), law enforcement supplies, instructional materials, and fire rescue medical consumables. The code does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring in the current cycle, and vendors pursuing opportunities under this classification should verify that the issuing body's line-item detail matches their product offering before committing bid resources.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities includes California, Florida, Minnesota's cooperative purchasing vehicle (serving Washington state counties and nationwide entities), Texas, and Florida again. The six-month window from mid-March through mid-June 2026 produced one direct-source procurement (Collier County's GlideScope video laryngoscope from Verathon Inc., due May 11, 2026), two ITBs or RFBs (Santa Clara County ophthalmic instruments, due July 10, 2026, and Tampa Fire Rescue medical and first aid supplies, due March 13, 2026), and one cooperative RFP through Sourcewell (law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026). The Tampa procurement is sheltered as a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside with a 5% discount cap, while Klein ISD's CTE procurement encourages HUB and MWBE participation without formal set-asides. No substantive activity under the ear dressing kit code proper is evident in the posted record.
