UNSPSC 42272020: Videolaryngoscope

A high-resolution micro camera mounted on the tip of a curved blade connected to small portable digital monitor improves the view of the vocal cords and subsequently the success rate of direct laryngoscopy.

UNSPSC 42272020 Videolaryngoscope is a Commodity code that covers specialized airway visualization equipment used in medical and occupational health settings. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the equipment's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities posted show medical surveillance and law enforcement equipment procurements that do not involve videolaryngoscopes. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries (WSDOT–WSF) RFP 20260825 seeks occupational medical surveillance services for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations, with medical examinations conducted by occupational-medicine-certified physicians — a service delivery contract rather than equipment procurement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties and thousands of other public agencies across the United States and Canada; this procurement also bears no relationship to videolaryngoscope supply.

No relevant recent state and local contract opportunities for videolaryngoscopes appear in the source. The two posted solicitations are miscoded under this Commodity code and represent service delivery (occupational health surveillance) and law enforcement equipment categories rather than medical device procurement. Business development professionals should note that UNSPSC 42272020 shows no active recent state and local demand signals in the available record. Practitioners considering airway visualization equipment sales to state and local buyers should monitor higher-tier medical device and equipment codes rather than rely on activity under this specific Commodity classification.
