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 under which state and local governments procure respiratory monitoring and emergency medical response equipment, specifically capnography devices and related supplies for first responders and health care settings. The code sees activity across law enforcement agencies, fire departments, school districts, and other public safety entities that stock emergency medical kits and rescue equipment. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating end-tidal CO2 detection as part of broader medical and first aid supply procurements, typically bundled with airway devices, cardiac monitoring equipment, and oxygen delivery systems rather than purchased in isolation.

The issuing-body mix includes fire departments (notably Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division), law enforcement procurement cooperatives, and school districts acquiring equipment through multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Geographic activity centers on Texas (Klein Independent School District in Harris County) and Florida (City of Tampa), with broader reach through Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based state and local government cooperative serving participating entities across multiple states including Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa's ITB 26-P-00145 for medical and first aid supplies (169 line items for fire rescue, due March 13, 2026, estimated $700,000 with Small Local Business Enterprise sheltering and a 5% SLBE bid discount), Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026, serving thousands of governmental agencies across participating jurisdictions in Washington, Minnesota, and beyond), and Klein ISD RFP 26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources (due June 5, 2026, which listed health sciences and medical equipment among 17 CTE program areas).
