UNSPSC 42271924 Emergency cricothyrotomy kits is a Commodity code describing surgical airway devices and related kits procured by state and local emergency response agencies, primarily fire departments and rescue divisions. State and local governments buy emergency cricothyrotomy kits as part of broader medical and first aid supply inventories for emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, firefighters, and rescue teams. Solicitations under this code span fire departments, cooperative purchasing entities representing multiple jurisdictions, and other emergency response agencies. Issuing bodies include city fire departments and fire rescue divisions within large metropolitan areas, counties, and state and local cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit serving thousands of governmental agencies, schools, and public entities across the United States and Canada). Recent solicitations reflect demand from both individual jurisdictions and cooperative frameworks that consolidate procurement across dozens of participating entities.
