UNSPSC 42294214: Tracheotomy surgical instrument sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a set of tracheotomy surgical instruments during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Tracheotomy surgical instrument sets under 21 CFR 878.48 and under FDA product code KDD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42294214 Tracheotomy surgical instrument sets is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under it. The indexed opportunities show state and local governments buying automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment and service plans—not tracheotomy surgical instruments. Cobb County School District solicited AED equipment, batteries, and accessories in Q27009 (RFQ, due July 6, 2026); Harris County issued an RFP for AEDs and related items (due May 18, 2026); the City of Tampa procured Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs and accessories under a sheltered-market bid (26P00028); and the City of Orlando conducted a sole-source procurement for X-Series Defibrillator/Monitor service plans covering 65 units with extended warranty and preventive maintenance (S26-0394, $318,123.66). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment includes potential AED and emergency medical equipment across Washington and other states. The City of Eugene procured cardiac monitors from Stryker through Sourcewell (SKE001000016005, $1,446,743.80). Marion County, Florida sought blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator (21SS-044, re-solicitation due May 6, 2026), and Collier County issued a notice of intent to single-source a Zoll cardiac monitor service plan (PUR16607).

The issuing bodies span city fire departments, county emergency services and procurement divisions, school districts, and cooperative purchasing entities. Activity concentrates in Florida (Orlando, Collier County, Marion County) and Texas (Harris County, City of Dallas, City of Tampa), with additional recent solicitations in Oregon, Minnesota/Washington cooperatives, and Georgia school districts. The code appears to be misclassified for these opportunities—the taxonomic mismatch suggests that prospective vendors should verify actual category assignments before pursuing activity tagged under 42294214, as state and local procurement offices may have applied the code incorrectly to emergency medical equipment and service contracts that belong in a defibrillator or cardiac monitoring family rather than surgical instruments.
