UNSPSC 42141815: High frequency electromagnetic wave stimulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a unit used to treat disease by applying electromagnetic waves to the body. High frequency electromagnetic wave stimulators under 21 CFR and under FDA product code MBQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 981700.

UNSPSC 42141815 High frequency electromagnetic wave stimulators is a Commodity code that state and local governments nominally classify under medical device equipment, yet the recent solicitations show negligible alignment with the code's name. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code span durable medical equipment procurement (Texas Health and Human Services Commission master contracts for DME services including respiratory supplies, hearing aids, orthotics, and wheelchairs), fitness and athletic training supplies (Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District athletic strength and conditioning equipment), career technical and special education materials (Klein Independent School District CTE resources and Donna Independent School District special education catalog supplies), and tablet hardware (California state RFB for Foresite SS tablet devices). These opportunities share no coherent connection to electromagnetic wave stimulation technology. The code sees activity from state health and human services departments, county and municipal purchasing offices, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell. Issuing bodies across multiple states are soliciting under this code, though the majority of recent activity originates from Texas (HHSC, Harlingen ISD, Klein ISD, Donna ISD) and California (DHS, State of California). The code shows recent activity also from Arizona (Pinal County) and Washington-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission RFP HHS0017173 for Durable Medical Equipment Master Contracts, posted June 2, 2026 with a response deadline of June 2, 2026, represents the most substantial recent opportunity and the only one bearing material relevance to medical device equipment within the code's nominal scope; this procurement spans eleven DME categories across eleven Texas service regions with a potential contract value not to exceed $5 million through August 2026–2031, subject to a 21.1 percent Historically Underutilized Business utilization goal. The California Department of Health Services RFB-IS-26200998 for SciFit Pro2 equipment, due June 12, 2026, provides minimal detail beyond the model name and due date. The City of Tucson RFP 260163 for Athletic Training Services, due June 9, 2026, and Sourcewell RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, represent opportunities in the broader procurement environment but do not align with the code's electromagnetic stimulation focus. The weight of recent activity suggests the code designation is either misapplied across diverse medical equipment, fitness, and technology purchases, or the code sees minimal legitimate activity under its actual definition of high-frequency electromagnetic wave stimulators.
