UNSPSC 42141813: Electroconvulsive devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that that is used in a psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in patients to provide relief from psychiatric illnesses. US FDA regulates Electroconvulsive devices under 21 CFR 882.5940 and under FDA product code GXC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42141813 Electroconvulsive devices is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work in recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code cover special education catalog discounts, durable medical equipment and rehabilitation services, fitness equipment, athletic training services, law enforcement equipment, and school district athletic and strength-conditioning supplies—none of which involve electroconvulsive devices or related neurostimulation products. The mismatch suggests the code is being used as a catch-all or administrative placeholder by state and local procurement offices for goods and services outside its nominal scope, rather than as an accurate descriptor of the contracting activity.

The recent opportunities span cooperative purchasing vehicles, state health agencies, city public safety departments, and school districts across Texas, California, Washington, Minnesota, and Arizona. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) posted a catalog discount bid for special education and supplies with a two-year value of $2.7 million and an anticipated 99 vendor awards as of October 1, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought durable medical equipment and rehabilitation services for traumatic brain and spinal cord injury programs across eleven geographic regions with a maximum contract value of $5 million through August 31, 2031; the City of Tucson issued an RFP for athletic training services for fire and police departments due June 9, 2026; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington, Minnesota, and beyond due June 16, 2026. If your firm holds inventory or service capability in medical equipment, rehabilitation supplies, athletic training, or school-district athletic goods, the code as currently applied may surface relevant opportunities—but the code's nominal electroconvulsive-device classification does not govern the activity being bought.
