In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a laryngoscope in an intubation procedure in a medical setting (the blade could be straight or curved on the laryngoscope). US FDA regulates Intubation laryngoscopes under 21 CFR 874.4760 and under FDA product code EQN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392690.

UNSPSC 42272001 Intubation laryngoscopes/laryngoscope blades (Commodity) represents handheld video laryngoscopes and related medical airway devices purchased by state and local healthcare systems, fire departments, and emergency medical services for airway management in clinical, surgical, and emergency response settings. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement of complete laryngoscope systems with associated accessories, consumables, and service support rather than blades alone. The issuing bodies span state health departments, county healthcare systems, municipalities with fire departments, and independent school districts that integrate medical training into career technical education programs. Purchasing patterns reflect both new equipment acquisitions and single-source renewals with incumbent vendors.

Activity under the code concentrates in California and Florida, with solicitation activity also present in Texas and Minnesota-coordinated regional purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County, Florida's Notice of Intent to Single Source the GlideScope Go 2 video laryngoscope from Verathon Inc. (due May 11, 2026), with a contract term running through September 30, 2029; the State of California's RFB IS-26200820-1 for TONO-PEN AVIA intraocular pressure measurement equipment (due April 24, 2026); and the City of Tampa Fire Department's Invitation to Bid 26-P-00145 for medical and first aid supplies including endotracheal tubes and airway devices with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 (closed March 13, 2026).
