UNSPSC 42271602: Spirometers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Spirometers under 21 CFR 868.1840 and under FDA product code BWF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42271602 Spirometers is a Commodity code that encompasses respiratory diagnostic and monitoring equipment for pulmonary function testing and patient assessment. State and local governments procure spirometers and related respiratory measurement devices primarily through health departments, hospital systems, school districts, and detention facilities to support clinical diagnostics, occupational health screening, and emergency medical services. The equipment includes both standalone spirometry units and integrated respiratory monitoring components used in medical settings and first-response environments.

Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity; the most relevant opportunity is Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00275, issued May 28, 2026, for maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators over three years with an estimated contract value of $140,225, bids due June 12, 2026. Other recent postings tagged to broader medical-supply categories include NASPO ValuePoint's cooperative master-agreement RFP for medical supplies (South Dakota administering, proposals due November 9, 2026) and Cobb County School District's quotes for Automated External Defibrillators and accessories (two separate RFQs in June and July 2026, each approximately $50,000). The code shows limited direct spirometer procurement activity in the most recent three-month window; opportunities appear concentrated in equipment maintenance contracts and AED procurement rather than spirometer acquisition specifically. Geographic reach includes Georgia (Hillsborough County, Cobb County School District), the multistate NASPO ValuePoint framework, and other state and local health systems, though the sample is too sparse to characterize regional concentration. Vendors pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing frameworks and health-department capital equipment cycles, as individual spirometer procurements may be infrequent and bundled into broader medical-device or respiratory-equipment solicitations.
