UNSPSC 42271922: Supraglottic ventilatory devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used to mange difficult airway conditions it is placed blindly in the lower pharynx overlying the glottis of the patient in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42271922 Supraglottic ventilatory devices is a Commodity code with little recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch: the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members — work that relates to occupational health monitoring rather than supraglottic airway devices. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) targets law enforcement equipment for multi-jurisdictional use across Washington counties and national public entities, a scope unrelated to airway devices.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. The two posted opportunities reflect state departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving counties and public entities across Washington and broader regions, but neither procurement actually involves supraglottic ventilatory devices. Business development professionals evaluating this code should recognize that state and local governments are not currently sourcing supraglottic airway equipment through these tracked channels, and the code's recent activity consists of misclassified solicitations addressing occupational health services and law enforcement supplies. Vendors in the supraglottic airway space should monitor whether health-system procurement, emergency medical services, or hospital system solicitations eventually route through this code, but current signals show no active demand.
