UNSPSC 42271905: Endobronchial tubes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a hollow tube to support ventilation or an inflatable balloon to block a bronchus in an endobronchial procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Endobronchial tubes under 21 CFR 868.5720 and under FDA product code BTS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42271905 Endobronchial tubes, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code nominally covers respiratory medical devices, but the two recent opportunities posted under this code procure occupational medical surveillance services and law enforcement equipment — neither of which involves endobronchial tubes or respiratory medical supplies. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) represent a clear category mismatch rather than legitimate demand signals for the commodity itself.

No recent state and local solicitations for endobronchial tubes or related respiratory medical devices appear in the available opportunity records. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the two opportunities listed do not reflect the actual scope of UNSPSC 42271905.
