UNSPSC 42272009: Patient carbon dioxide detectors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device designed to sense and report carbon dioxide levels in a patient in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42272009 Patient carbon dioxide detectors is a Commodity code covering handheld diagnostic and monitoring equipment used in medical settings, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited activity and substantial scope mismatch. The Collier County, Florida Notice of Intent to Single Source (PUR17682) names the GlideScope Go 2, a video laryngoscope used for airway visualization rather than CO₂ detection; the associated medical device accessories, capital equipment, and consumables follow the same airway-management focus. The Santa Clara County ITB for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories covers eye-care diagnostic and surgical equipment unrelated to capnography or patient CO₂ monitoring. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment is similarly outside the code's stated scope. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health and specialty-care departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional law enforcement and government agencies (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and national public entities).

Geographic activity centers on California and Florida, with secondary presence in cooperative procurements spanning Washington and multiple states through Sourcewell. Recent opportunities include Collier County's single-source procurement for GlideScope accessories and consumables running May 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029 with a challenge deadline of May 11, 2026; Santa Clara County's three-year ITB for ophthalmic instruments and services with bids due July 10, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-bid conference offered; and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows limited recent activity genuinely aligned with patient capnography or CO₂ detection equipment, suggesting either low demand under this specific code or systematic mislabeling in state and local procurement systems.
