UNSPSC 42144403: Artificial airway tube suction catheters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into a body cavity in an artificial insemination procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901820.

UNSPSC 42144403 Artificial airway tube suction catheters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to the nominal scope. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code include a large tension fabric tent structure from Mt. San Antonio Community College District, AED equipment from Cobb County School District, ventilator maintenance services from Hillsborough County, law enforcement equipment from a Sourcewell cooperative, career and technical education resources from Klein ISD, a respiratory care ventilator from Georgia Northwestern Technical College, emergency standby services from Collier County, and medical and first aid supplies from the City of Tampa. Of these, only the Tampa Fire Department medical and first aid supplies solicitation (Bid 26-P-00145, ITB, due March 13, 2026, estimated value $700,000) and the Tampa Fire Department Autovent parts solicitation (Bid 25-P-00175, ITB, due April 21, 2025, estimated value $70,000) address medical respiratory or airway equipment with any specificity, and neither explicitly names suction catheters as a line item.

The code shows mixed issuing bodies—community colleges, school districts, county health and emergency services, and municipalities—across California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Minnesota, and Washington, but the tagged opportunities do not cluster around artificial airway supplies procurement. The City of Tampa has issued multiple medical supply solicitations recently, though these cover broad first aid and medical consumables rather than specialized airway equipment. If your firm pursues this code, verify the actual scope in the RFQ or ITB documents before investing pre-bid effort; the UNSPSC tag appears misaligned with the work state and local buyers are currently requesting.
