UNSPSC 42182502: Nasal flowmeters or rhinoanemometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument that monitors the nasal passages for both the disease and the response to treatment in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902610.

UNSPSC 42182502 Nasal flowmeters or rhinoanemometers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no relevant purchasing activity for nasal flowmeters or rhinoanemometers themselves. The opportunities instead span ophthalmic instruments (applanation tonometers, video laryngoscopes), law enforcement equipment, career technical education resources, and emergency medical supplies—categories that fall entirely outside the nominal scope of nasal airflow measurement devices. The mismatch between the code's stated definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic coding errors in the posting agencies' procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all taxonomy placeholder for unrelated medical device procurements.

No representative recent opportunities in this summary present actual nasal flowmeter or rhinoanemometer solicitations. The State of California's April 2026 RFB for TONO-PEN AVIA tonometers (IS-26200820-1, due April 24, 2026) and Santa Clara County's July 2026 ITB for ophthalmic instruments (ITB-PRC-FY26-0664, due July 10, 2026) do show state and local demand for specialized medical diagnostic equipment, but neither addresses respiratory or nasal function testing. Unless procurement offices begin tagging actual nasal flowmeter opportunities under this code, it appears inactive for business development purposes at the state and local level.
