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 (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—devices that use focused acoustic waves to treat musculoskeletal conditions—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. Of six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, only one involves ultrasound equipment (CommUnityCare's point-of-care ultrasound procurement in Travis County, Texas), while the remainder span bore-and-trenching services (City of Brownsville), utility locating (Pasco County), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell), career technical education resources (Klein ISD), and a mobile sensory unit for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). The commingle of unrelated commodity categories under this code suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-aggregation artifact rather than genuine purchasing activity in extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems.

The issuing bodies across these mis-tagged opportunities include county governments (Pasco County, Collier County), a nonprofit health center (CommUnityCare), municipalities (City of Brownsville), a school district (Klein ISD), a state-level cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), and a public authority (GWCCA). Geographic spread includes Texas (three opportunities), Florida, Washington, Minnesota, and Georgia. No recent opportunities in this dataset actually target extracorporeal shock wave therapy systems, and the code does not warrant active pursuit based on the evidence of recent state and local solicitation activity.
