UNSPSC 42271904: Tracheostomy tubes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a tube in a tracheostomy procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Tracheostomy tubes under 21 CFR 868.58 and under FDA product code JOH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42271904 Tracheostomy tubes is a Commodity code covering specialized respiratory medical devices procured by state and local health, emergency response, and educational institutions. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying tracheostomy tubes and related airway management supplies alongside broader medical, emergency-response, and educational equipment packages rather than as standalone purchases. The Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division's March 2026 bid for medical and first aid supplies, which included endotracheal tubes and respiratory equipment alongside other emergency-response consumables, exemplifies how this Commodity sits within larger medical procurement bundles. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include municipal fire and rescue departments, school districts, and cooperative purchasing consortia acting on behalf of multiple jurisdictions. The buying pattern reflects demand from both standalone emergency-response procurement and integrated health-sciences educational programs.

The geographic spread of recent activity touches Florida and multistate cooperative arrangements through Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle serving Washington state counties and public entities nationwide. The City of Tampa's IFB for medical and first aid supplies (Bid 26-P-00145) closed March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a one-year initial award period with two optional renewal years; the procurement was sheltered for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026, encompasses participation from Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and thousands of governmental agencies and K-12 school districts throughout the United States and Canada, though the scope description does not isolate tracheostomy tubes specifically. The code shows limited discrete recent activity; opportunities tagged to it often embed tracheostomy tubes within broader medical-equipment or emergency-response solicitations rather than isolating them as primary procurement objects.
