UNSPSC 42272515: Algesimeters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument used in determining acuteness of pain perception in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42272515 Algesimeters is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes pain-measurement devices, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical ventilators (maintenance and repair services for Vyaire LTV 1200 and Getinge Servo-U units), automated external defibrillators and accessories, medical and first aid supplies for fire rescue operations, and temporary tent structures — none of which are algesimeters or pain-assessment instruments. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited signals either misclassification at posting or limited relevance of this Commodity code to state and local procurement activity.

Across the opportunities tagged to this code, issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Collier County), school districts (Cobb County School District, Mt. San Antonio Community College District, Georgia Northwestern Technical College, Klein ISD), and city procurement departments (City of Tampa). Geographic spread includes California, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include Cobb County School District's RFQ for AED equipment and accessories with an estimated $50,000 expenditure (due July 6, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for three-year maintenance and repair services on 40 Vyaire LTV 1200 ventilators valued at $140,225 (due June 12, 2026); and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department's ITB for medical and first aid supplies estimated at $700,000 with a sheltered-market 5% bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (due March 13, 2026). The activity pattern suggests the code is being applied to medical equipment procurement rather than pain measurement, indicating a classification drift that limits its utility for tracking algesimeter purchasing.
