Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42144103 Chest tube kits, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The source presents six recent state and local contract opportunities across multiple UNSPSC categories and scopes, but none of them solicit chest tube kits or related thoracic drainage supplies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center does reference gastrostomy feeding tubes, catheters, feeding tubes, and IV equipment from vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson—categories that overlap healthcare procurement platforms—but the solicitation does not itemize chest tube kits and does not appear to target the thoracic-specific product line. Remaining opportunities in the source address underground utility locating services (Pasco County, Florida), traveling sprinkler irrigation equipment (City of Richardson, Texas), law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties), irrigation system mainline upgrades (Valencia College, Florida), and disaster debris removal services (Fairfax County, Virginia), none of which involve thoracic medical devices or supplies related to chest tube kits.

State and local purchasing under this commodity code does not reflect recent activity in the opportunity blocks provided. No issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative solicitations specific to chest tube kits can be identified from the source material. Business development professionals should monitor healthcare procurement channels through state health departments, medicaid managed care organizations, and hospital systems directly rather than rely on general UNSPSC-coded state and local postings, as procurement of specialized thoracic medical supplies often routes through existing prime vendor or group purchasing agreements outside traditional RFP and IFB processes.
