UNSPSC 42271517: Colorimetric End Tidal CO2 detector

For adult or pediatric. Colorimetric CO2 detectors visually indicate the presence of exhaled carbon dioxide. They are designed to connect between an endotracheal tube and a resuscitation bag to aid in the verification of proper ETT placement upon intubation.

UNSPSC 42271517 Colorimetric End Tidal CO2 detector is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure in the context of occupational health surveillance and fire suppression system inspection, though the recent opportunities show limited direct demand for the detector itself. The Orange County Public Works solicitation (0803129604REA, IFB, due October 7, 2026) seeks CO2 fire suppression and gas detection inspection services—including control panel testing, heat and gas sensor verification, and cylinder pressure checks—rather than detector hardware. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services including baseline and periodic medical examinations for four personnel categories across 14 Washington ferry locations, performed by board-certified occupational physicians; this work may tangentially involve CO2 monitoring in occupational contexts but does not explicitly procure detection equipment. A third opportunity from Sourcewell (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment does not align with the code's scope and appears to be a misfiling. Issuing bodies are limited to Orange County Public Works and Washington State Ferries in relevant recent activity, both single-use entries. Geographic activity centers on California (Orange County) and Washington (ferry system statewide), with no other states represented in substantive, code-aligned opportunities.

The recent-opportunity record shows minimal direct procurement of colorimetric end tidal CO2 detectors themselves under this Commodity code. Orange County's CO2 fire suppression inspection work emphasizes system-level maintenance and testing rather than detector purchase, while the WSF medical surveillance RFP calls for occupational health services and does not specify detector procurement. No volume, pricing, or vendor award data appear in the available opportunities. The code exhibits light recent activity in state and local procurement, with no repeat issuing bodies or established buying patterns evident from the opportunities posted in the past four months.
