UNSPSC 42181520: Intrathoracic pressure meters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a to measure the amount of pressure in the lungs when inflated. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181520 Intrathoracic pressure meters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect equipment for measuring intrathoracic pressure; instead, they show activity in broad medical supplies and law enforcement equipment procurement. The two NASPO ValuePoint RFPs (NVP_1443 and 1433), both closing November 9, 2026, seek master-agreement vendors for general medical supplies across multiple product categories without naming intrathoracic pressure meters specifically. A third opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment closing June 16, 2026, is entirely outside the code's nominal scope. The code shows a mismatch between its stated definition and what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag in current procurement activity.

The issuing bodies represent the cooperative purchasing model: NASPO ValuePoint (a multi-state cooperative sponsored by Idaho state agencies and administered by South Dakota, with participation across numerous states) and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit serving participating entities in Washington state, the upper Midwest, and beyond). Geographic concentration is unclear due to the mismatch, but the NASPO ValuePoint solicitations indicate multi-state participation, while the Sourcewell RFP explicitly covers Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington plus entities throughout the United States and Canada. The lack of recent opportunities directly aligned with intrathoracic pressure meters and the presence of unrelated solicitations (law enforcement equipment) suggest this code is either receiving misclassified submissions or carries minimal relevant recent activity.
