UNSPSC 42141811: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a system that provides shockwaves that are abrupt, high amplitude pulses of mechanical energy shockwaves, similar to soundwaves, generated by an electromagnetic coil or a spark in water. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42141811 Extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The four most recent opportunities posted under this code—a San Mateo County Health community health assessment advisory engagement, a CommUnityCare point-of-care ultrasound equipment procurement, a Pasco County underground utility locating and asset inventory contract, and a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing vehicle—bear no connection to extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems. None of the opportunities involve the procurement, lease, maintenance, or deployment of medical devices that use shock wave therapy for urological, orthopedic, or other clinical applications. The code tag appears to be a data classification error or platform mismatch rather than accurate scope labeling.

State and local health systems, county health departments, and special-purpose procurement cooperatives do occasionally procure and maintain diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment for clinics and emergency departments. However, the available source material provides no evidence of current or recent procurement activity for extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems within state and local contracting channels. Vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor state health system RFPs, county health department equipment procurements, and hospital cooperative purchasing vehicles (particularly those serving trauma and orthopedic services), but should not rely on this UNSPSC code as a reliable filter for active opportunities at this time.
