UNSPSC 42271913: Pharyngeal airways or airways kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies that enable pharyngeal airway use in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Pharyngeal airways or airways kits under 21 CFR 868.6810 and under FDA product code OFO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271913 Pharyngeal airways or airways kits is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement appears to span occupational and emergency medical equipment and services. The recent opportunities block shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations posted under it. The Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries addresses physician-led medical examinations, record management, and 24/7 technical support—none of which involve airways or respiratory equipment. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment similarly falls outside airways procurement. The code shows little relevant recent activity tied to its stated product category.

No recent state and local solicitations explicitly purchasing pharyngeal airways or airways kits appear in the opportunity block. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source systems or that this particular commodity code does not currently drive material procurement volume among state and local buyers. Business development professionals should verify whether airways-related equipment is being solicited under alternate UNSPSC codes within the medical device or emergency response families, or directly monitor health departments, transit authorities, and emergency services procurement channels for respiratory equipment RFPs that may use different taxonomy classifications.
