UNSPSC 42144407: Tracheal suction sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product composed of a set of parts and supplies used for suction in a tracheal procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42144407 Tracheal suction sets, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of occupational medical surveillance and law-enforcement medical support services rather than discrete medical devices — the code name does not align with what is actually being solicited. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show a mismatch between the nominal product (tracheal suction equipment) and the work being bought: the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 ferry system locations; and Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment available to multiple jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple public entities across jurisdictions.

Activity under this code spans Washington State (the WSDOT ferry medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31) and multi-state cooperative procurement (Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, with response due June 16, 2026). The recent opportunities show limited alignment with the code's stated scope — the WSDOT RFP emphasizes occupational health examinations and medical record management rather than tracheal suction equipment, and the Sourcewell cooperative frame does not specify medical equipment details in available documentation. The code shows sparse recent activity genuinely tied to the tracheal suction product category; business development professionals should verify whether opportunities posted under this code address actual medical device procurement or represent tagging mismatches.
