UNSPSC 42271728: Nasal catheter

Catheter, nasal, with lateral eyes, sterile, single use; different sizes.

UNSPSC 42271728 Nasal catheter is a Commodity code that encompasses disposable and reusable nasal airways and oxygen delivery devices purchased by state and local health systems, detention facilities, school districts, and emergency services. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct procurement of nasal catheters under this code; instead, opportunities are tagged across broader medical-supply master agreements and unrelated equipment categories (ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment, tent structures, and AEDs), indicating that state and local bodies typically source nasal catheters as line items within framework medical-supply contracts rather than as standalone solicitations. When nasal catheters are procured, they move through cooperative purchasing vehicles and state agency medical-supply catalogs, often bundled with broader respiratory and oxygen-therapy product lines.

The most relevant recent activity appears in cooperative purchasing RFPs. NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for Medical Supplies, posted October 6, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes a master-agreement framework administered by South Dakota and sponsored by Idaho state agencies to serve participating public entities across multiple states. This vehicle seeks competitive unit pricing and potential volume discounts across multiple medical-supply categories, including respiratory devices. Individual state health agencies, school districts, and county governments access the resulting master agreements to order specific items including nasal catheters as needed rather than initiating category-specific solicitations. Vendors responding to cooperative medical-supply RFPs like NASPO ValuePoint 1433 establish pricing that cascades to end-user state and local procurement offices, making cooperative framework responses the primary pathway to state and local nasal-catheter volume.
