UNSPSC 42271617: Chest percussors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device used to strike a chest rhythmically in a therapeutic procedure in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271617 Chest percussors is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with the nominal scope—none of the solicitations are actually procuring chest percussors or percussion therapy devices. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 RFP for Durable Medical Equipment and Services covers eleven DME categories including respiratory supplies, communication aids, orthotics, prosthetics, wheelchairs, wound care supplies, and assistive technology across eleven geographic service regions, with contract value not to exceed $5 million through August 31, 2031; Marion County, Florida's May 2026 re-solicitation seeks blood pressure cuffs and hoses for LIFEPAK 15S defibrillators; Klein Independent School District's June 2026 RFP covers Career Technical Education instructional resources and equipment; and Sourcewell's June 2026 RFP addresses law enforcement equipment. None of these opportunities match chest percussors or respiratory therapy percussion devices as commonly understood.

The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state health and human services agencies, county procurement offices, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles, but the code shows little relevant recent activity for chest percussion equipment. When evaluating this code, practitioners should verify the actual commodity descriptions in any posted opportunities rather than relying on the nominal UNSPSC title, as the tagging appears to misclassify the work being solicited. No recent opportunities demonstrate active procurement of chest percussors specifically.
