UNSPSC 42271642: Spirometer recording papers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a recording paper in conjunction with a spirometer in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Spirometer recording papers under 21 CFR 868.1840 and under FDA product code BWF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 480220.

UNSPSC 42271642 Spirometer recording papers (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity but recent solicitations tagged under this code do not align with its scope. The opportunities posted show a mix of unrelated medical supplies, ventilator repair and maintenance, AED equipment, energy recovery ventilator repair, large tent structures, and law enforcement equipment — none of which are spirometer recording papers or pulmonary function testing consumables. The code's nominal definition — specialized recording media for pulmonary diagnostic equipment — does not match what is actually being bought in the posted notices.

State and local purchasing activity under this code shows no recent opportunities for spirometer recording papers themselves. The NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies RFPs (South Dakota administering, Idaho sponsoring, posted September 25 and October 6, 2026, with responses due November 9, 2026) establish master agreements for broad medical-supplies categories but do not specify spirometer consumables in the available posting detail. Cobb County School District, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and the City of Augusta have posted other medical equipment and maintenance work, but none target spirometer papers. Geographic spread across the recent notices includes Idaho, South Dakota, Georgia, California, Minnesota, and Washington, but this reflects the breadth of unrelated medical procurement, not spirometer activity. No vendor should interpret these postings as demand signals for spirometer recording paper supply.
