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, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a mismatch: a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, response due June 16, 2026), an ISD RFP for career technical education and advanced academics resources (Klein ISD RFP #26-101, response due June 5, 2026), a Hillsborough County sole-source procurement for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs compatible with the Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator (response due April 13, 2026, $44,385.00 for nine months), and a Tampa Fire Department RFP for general medical and first aid supplies (Bid #26-P-00145, response due March 13, 2026, $700,000.00 estimated contract value). Of these, only the Hillsborough County procurement involves pressure-measurement equipment—blood pressure cuffs—which sits adjacent to but distinct from intrathoracic pressure measurement. The law enforcement, educational, and general medical supply solicitations do not substantively relate to the code's stated commodity.

The issuing bodies include a state cooperative (Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and participating county and multistate jurisdictions), an independent school district (Klein ISD, Texas), a county government (Hillsborough County, Florida), and a city (Tampa, Florida). Geographic representation spans Minnesota, Texas, Florida, and Washington state, though the recent opportunities do not demonstrate concentrated demand for intrathoracic pressure measurement devices. No evidence supports active state or local procurement of intrathoracic pressure meters as a distinct product category in the recent quarter. The code appears underutilized for its nominal commodity scope, with recent tagging driven by tangential equipment categories rather than genuine demand for intrathoracic pressure measurement instrumentation.
