In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a tube in an endotracheal procedure in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42271903 Endotracheal tubes is a Commodity code representing medical airway devices that state and local governments procure for emergency medical services, fire rescue divisions, and hospital systems. State and local buyers source endotracheal tubes through direct commodity solicitations and as line items within broader medical supply procurements. The issuing bodies include municipal fire departments, school districts, counties, and state-authorized cooperative purchasing units like Sourcewell. Work under this code involves the supply and delivery of single-use respiratory equipment meeting clinical and regulatory standards, often bundled with related first aid and emergency medical supplies rather than as standalone purchases.

Recent activity shows endotracheal tubes appearing in a Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division medical supply procurement (City of Tampa Bid 26P00145, due March 13, 2026, estimated contract value $700,000.00) and referenced within a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) serving multiple Washington counties and thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada. The Tampa procurement is sheltered for Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount not to exceed $10,000 and specifies delivery within five working days of purchase order receipt. Beyond these two opportunities, the source identifies no additional state or local solicitations naming endotracheal tubes, suggesting the code sees limited standalone procurement activity at the state and local level; the commodity typically appears as a line item within larger emergency medical or first aid supply contracts rather than as a dedicated solicitation driver.
