UNSPSC 42271937: Lung isolation or bronchial blocker or blockade device

A product used to occlude a portion of the human bronchial tree that allow segmentation of a lobe or lung as required for thoracic surgical procedural needs.

UNSPSC 42271937 Lung isolation or bronchial blocker or blockade device is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The two opportunities posted under this code in the source do not align with the nominal scope of respiratory medical devices. The Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries covers baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members — a occupational health program requiring physician board-certification in occupational medicine, not the procurement of lung isolation devices. The second opportunity, Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment issued May 2026, is similarly unrelated to respiratory medical instrumentation and represents a multi-jurisdiction equipment framework primarily targeting law enforcement agencies across the United States and Canada.

The misalignment between this Commodity code's description and recent opportunities suggests that state and local procurement offices are not currently soliciting lung isolation or bronchial blocker devices under UNSPSC 42271937, or that the coding has been applied inconsistently to unrelated service and equipment procurements. Business development professionals should verify whether this code reflects active state and local demand for respiratory medical devices or whether demand, if present, is being tagged to different UNSPSC categories.
