In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device that can be used to specifically warm-up inspiratory muscles prior to exercise in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42271619 Inspiratory muscle trainers is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase respiratory support and rehabilitation equipment under this code, including devices that strengthen breathing muscles and support pulmonary function in clinical and therapeutic settings. Recent solicitations show that inspiratory muscle trainers are procured as part of broader durable medical equipment (DME) contracts serving rehabilitation programs, particularly those serving populations with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and other conditions requiring respiratory support. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFP HHS0017173 for DME and Services (posted June 2, 2026, due June 2, 2026) encompasses respiratory supplies and CPAP devices across eleven geographic service regions in Texas as one of eleven DME categories under a Master Contract framework running through August 31, 2031. Issuing bodies under this code include state health departments and agencies managing Medicaid-funded rehabilitation services. The sourcing pattern reflects procurement concentrated within state health and human services agencies rather than local municipalities or school districts.

Geographic activity on this code centers on Texas, where the HHSC's five-year Master Contract represents the largest recent opportunity. The Texas procurement requires bidders to be medical device manufacturer or distributor licensees under state law, maintain two years in business with demonstrated financial solvency, meet CMS DMEPOS competitive bidding program fee schedules, and achieve a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal. The contract carries a cumulative compensation cap of $5,000,000 with no guaranteed minimum volume. A second recent solicitation—California Department of Health Services RFB-IS-26200998 for SciFit Pro2 equipment (posted May 27, 2026, due June 12, 2026)—suggests activity in California, though the full scope remains unavailable in summary form and requires access to the complete RFB packet. Beyond these two states, the source shows no additional inspiratory muscle trainer activity. The code appears to generate sparse but significant state-level procurement, concentrated in large rehabilitation programs serving special populations rather than routine clinical or consumer purchase.
