UNSPSC 42271917: Airway monitoring systems

UNSPSC 42271917 Airway monitoring systems is a Commodity code that covers occupational health surveillance and medical examination services delivered to government workforces, particularly in safety-sensitive roles such as transportation, maritime, and law-enforcement personnel. The scope reflects state and local procurement of baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations aligned with occupational safety regulations, performed by licensed physicians or occupational-medicine specialists, with full medical record management and employee access compliance. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities across regions.

The Washington State Department of Transportation's request (RFP 20260825, response due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services on behalf of Washington State Ferries exemplifies current activity under this code. The scope covers baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations, with physician oversight, 60-day result delivery, and 24/7 technical support for 2 years plus up to five one-year extension options. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 (response due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities in Washington state and nationally; however, the law-enforcement solicitation does not align with the airway-monitoring-systems code scope and appears misclassified. Recent activity is concentrated in Washington state, driven by the Washington State Ferries opportunity. This code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume; the single well-defined opportunity is occupational health surveillance for maritime workers in Washington.
