UNSPSC 42271913 Pharyngeal airways or airways kits is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure respiratory and airway management equipment for emergency response, fire rescue, and medical operations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for pharyngeal airways as components of broader medical and first aid supply contracts, particularly from fire departments and emergency services. Issuing bodies span city purchasing departments, school districts, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. The City of Tampa's Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, for example, recently solicited 169 line items of medical and emergency response supplies including airway devices through an IFB (sealed bid) designation; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, has issued an RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities across multiple states; and Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas solicited Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources, which encompass health sciences and related equipment categories.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, Texas, Washington, and the Upper Midwest. The most substantial recent opportunity is the City of Tampa's March 2026 IFB for medical and first aid supplies supporting the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with a response deadline of March 13, 2026 and an estimated contract amount of $700,000, structured as a sheltered-market procurement with a 5% bid discount reserved for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, covers multiple counties in Washington (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. The Klein ISD RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education resources, due June 5, 2026, solicits materials and equipment across 17 CTE program areas and advanced academics; while not exclusively focused on medical equipment, it includes health sciences instructional resources. Demand for pharyngeal airways appears primarily driven by fire rescue and emergency medical service operations within municipal government.
