UNSPSC 41115320: Signal generators

UNSPSC 41115320 Signal generators is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses ultrasound equipment and related imaging systems procured to support clinical training, patient care, and medical education. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are acquiring point-of-care ultrasound devices (cart-based and handheld units with multimodal imaging capability), veterinary training simulators with integrated sensor feedback, and specialized ultrasound consoles for medical program instruction—equipment that generates, transmits, and processes diagnostic signals rather than laboratory signal generation in the narrower sense. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include health systems and FQHCs (CommUnityCare, a nonprofit healthcare provider in Texas), public universities and technical colleges (Texas A&M University, Georgia Northwestern Technical College), school districts (Klein ISD), and county government (Santa Clara County Public Health). The code shows activity across health professions education, veterinary training, and public health laboratory operations, with vendors expected to provide not only equipment but also integration services, training, warranty, and compliance with healthcare regulatory standards including HIPAA, DICOM connectivity, and EHR system integration.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and Florida. CommUnityCare issued an RFP on June 11, 2026, for point-of-care ultrasound equipment (three cart-based systems equivalent to TE7 Max specifications and three handheld devices with cordless probes, battery life, and military-grade durability), with proposals due the same day and evaluation weighted heavily toward total cost of ownership, Epic EHR compatibility, and healthcare vendor reputation. Texas A&M University's Division of Finance and Business Services solicited an ITB on June 5, 2026, for a K9 Diesel canine simulator with audio cues and sensor feedback to support veterinary technology training at College Station. Collier County, Florida, posted a single-source notice on April 1, 2026, for EchoNous KOSMOS ultrasound equipment with a 5-year warranty and iOS preset software, with the single-source period closing March 26, 2026. Georgia Northwestern Technical College issued an eRFQ in February 2026 for a GE Ultrasound LOGIQ E10s R4 Next Level Console with no substitution permitted, though the solicitation was cancelled on March 25, 2026, pending requirement redevelopment. The code shows modest but consistent state and local buying activity focused on healthcare and education end-use rather than industrial signal generation.
