UNSPSC 42144401 Tracheostomy and nasal suctioning kits (Commodity) covers specialized respiratory and airway management supplies procured by state and local governments for emergency medical services, hospital systems, fire departments, and emergency response divisions. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local buyers acquiring these items as part of broader medical and first aid supply contracts, particularly for emergency departments and rescue operations. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal fire departments, school districts, cooperative purchasing vehicles acting on behalf of multiple jurisdictions, and specialized emergency response divisions within city departments. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, and the City of Tampa's purchasing department represent the types of regional and municipal buyers active in this space.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest. The City of Tampa, Florida's March 2026 ITB for medical and first aid supplies (Bid 26-P-00145) for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a response deadline of March 13, 2026, exemplifies municipal procurement of respiratory and airway devices for emergency services. Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026, encompasses multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends to participating entities nationwide. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted an April 2026 RFP #26-101 for career and technical education resources with response deadline June 5, 2026, though this appears to emphasize instructional materials rather than medical supplies. The Tampa solicitation is designated as a sheltered market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount (not to exceed $10,000). Geographic concentration in Florida and Washington reflects the most recent high-visibility activity under this code.
