UNSPSC 42271906: Endotracheal or tracheostomy tube repair kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube repair procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Endotracheal or tracheostomy tube repair kits under 21 CFR 868.5730 and under FDA product code BSK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42271906 Endotracheal or tracheostomy tube repair kits is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. The two recent solicitations on record are occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries) and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating public entities nationwide). Neither solicitation involves endotracheal or tracheostomy tube repair kits or related medical devices. The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source system or that state and local procurement offices rarely use this code for actual tube repair kit purchases. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for near-term pursuit and verify directly with issuing bodies whether they use this code for medical equipment procurement or whether tube repair kits are sourced through alternative UNSPSC codes, group purchasing agreements, or hospital supply contracts that operate outside traditional state and local RFP channels.
