UNSPSC 42271604: Peak flowmeters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a calibrated instrument used to measure lung capacity in monitoring breathing disorders such as asthma in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Peak flowmeters under 21 CFR 868.1860 and under FDA product code BZH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271604 Peak flowmeters (Commodity) covers respiratory monitoring equipment that state and local governments procure as part of durable medical equipment (DME) programs, emergency medical response services, and rehabilitation care. The code sees limited direct activity; the most recent opportunities soliciting under it encompass respiratory supplies and monitoring devices within broader DME procurement frameworks rather than standalone peak flowmeter contracts. State and local issuing bodies range from health and human services agencies managing rehabilitation and medical equipment programs to county fire rescue departments and county procurement offices supporting emergency medical response. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Marion County, Florida appear as recent buyers, though their solicitations bundle peak flowmeters and related respiratory equipment into larger DME and medical equipment categories rather than isolating this commodity line.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017173) posted a Request for Proposals in May 2026 for Durable Medical Equipment and Services supporting the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program, with a response deadline of June 2, 2026; the procurement encompasses respiratory supplies and CPAP devices across eleven geographic service regions, with contract value capped at $5,000,000 total cumulative compensation and a HUB set-aside requiring 21.1 percent utilization. Marion County, Florida (21SS-044) issued a re-solicitation notice in April 2026 for blood pressure cuffs, hoses, and accessories compatible with LIFEPAK 15S defibrillators used by Marion County Fire Rescue, with responses due by May 6, 2026. Broader cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell (RFP 061626, June 16, 2026 deadline) encompasses law enforcement equipment across multiple jurisdictions but does not identify peak flowmeters or related respiratory devices as a specified component. Peak flowmeter procurement under this code does not show sustained standalone activity; it appears primarily as a line item within larger DME and medical equipment programs rather than as a discrete commodity focus.
