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 captures specialized airway management equipment purchased by state and local public safety, emergency response, and healthcare organizations. Recent state and local solicitations show the code applied to procurement of emergency medical supplies and law enforcement equipment across multiple issuing-body types. Videolaryngoscopes are indirect-vision intubation devices used by paramedics, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel during respiratory emergencies and field resuscitation. State and local purchasing under this code reflects acquisition by fire departments, school districts, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles supporting thousands of governmental agencies and public entities. The Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division's medical and first aid supplies procurement (City of Tampa, IFB #26-P-00145) and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626) on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and participating entities across the United States and Canada exemplify the breadth of issuing bodies accessing this equipment through state and local competitive processes.

The code shows recent activity across Washington state, Texas, and Florida. The City of Tampa's sealed-bid procurement for medical and first aid supplies closed March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a one-year award period plus two optional one-year renewals; this procurement was designated as a sheltered market opportunity exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5% bid discount not to exceed $10,000. Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626) closed June 16, 2026, and established a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across multiple states and Canada. Klein Independent School District's Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics RFP (#26-101) in Harris County, Texas, due June 5, 2026, did not focus on medical equipment but was tagged under this code; the source shows limited relevant recent activity under the videolaryngoscope code itself beyond the Tampa Fire Department procurement.
