In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of Otolaryngological surgical instrument during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Otolaryngological surgical instrument sets under 21 CFR 874.4420 and under FDA product code OGR. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42294210 Otolaryngological surgical instrument sets (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are overwhelmingly for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator batteries and pads, and related emergency medical equipment—none of which fall within otolaryngological surgical instruments. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the tagging system or that this code is being misapplied across multiple jurisdictions. State and local governments are not currently soliciting ENT surgical instrument sets under this code number.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan, Cobb County School District in Georgia), county governments (Sarasota County, Bryan County in Georgia, Marion County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), state agencies (Colorado, Georgia, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell). Recent activity clusters around AED procurements and accessories, with Cobb County School District posting multiple quotes (Q27009 and Q27027, both estimated at approximately $50,000) and Georgia issuing a statewide RFQ for AEDs. Geographic concentration appears in Texas (Dallas, Harris County, HHSC Denton facility), Georgia (Bryan County, Cobb County, state RFQ), Colorado (sole source LIFEPAK procurement), Michigan (Utica), and Florida (Sarasota, Marion County). The cooperative purchasing vehicle NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (Idaho Medical Supplies, due November 9, 2026) establishes master agreements for medical supplies across multiple states, while Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) represents a broader cooperative procurement. This code shows no relevant recent activity for otolaryngological surgical instrument sets and should not be pursued under its stated definition.
