UNSPSC 42144404: Non-bronchoscope bronchoalveolar lavage 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 42144404 Non-bronchoscope bronchoalveolar lavage catheters is a Commodity code that nominally addresses specialized respiratory diagnostic equipment, yet the recent state and local opportunities block contains no solicitations for this product. Instead, the opportunities posted under or near this code span energy recovery ventilator repair, automated external defibrillators and accessories, ventilator maintenance services, law enforcement equipment, tent structures, and broad medical supplies frameworks—none of which align with bronchoalveolar lavage catheter procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or that state and local entities do not actively procure this specific device through transparent bidding channels captured in public notices.

The most recent opportunity nominally tagged to this code family is a NASPO ValuePoint RFP for medical supplies (NVP1433, due November 9, 2026), administered by Idaho with South Dakota as the coordinating state and open to multiple state and local entities across cooperative purchasing arrangements. However, neither the NASPO ValuePoint posting nor any other recent notice specifies bronchoalveolar lavage catheters as a commodity within scope. Without corroborating opportunities explicitly naming this device or identifying issuing bodies, procurement volume, or geographic concentration of demand, no actionable business development signal emerges from the source material.
