UNSPSC 42192618: Intubation gel, jelly, or liquid lubricants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a gel, jelly, or liquid used as a lubricant in an intubation procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300670.

UNSPSC 42192618 Intubation gel, jelly, or liquid lubricants (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The ten recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, emergency medical supplies and pharmaceuticals for the City of Tucson Fire Department, medical examiner equipment procurement for Collin County, veterinary diagnostics for a Kentucky animal services agency, nursing staffing for a school district, first aid supplies for a county, cooperative purchasing frameworks for physical health products and law enforcement equipment, miscellaneous medical supplies for a state-supported living center, EZ-IO intraosseous infusion equipment for county EMS, ophthalmic instruments and services for a county health system, and forensic drug reference standards for a forensics laboratory—none of which align with lubrication products for intubation procedures. The nominations appear to reflect tagging errors rather than actual procurement of the commodity the code describes.

State and local procurement offices do source intubation lubricants through medical supply vendors and hospital procurement systems, but the opportunities presented here do not reflect that activity. No bid deadlines, issuing bodies pursuing intubation lubricants specifically, or geographic concentration of demand for this commodity are evident in the source material. The code warrants monitoring for future solicitations, but current activity does not support a pursue decision based on the present evidence.
