UNSPSC 42141816: Electromagnetic therapy stimulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a unit used to treat disease by applying electromagnetic radiation to the body. Electromagnetic therapy stimulators under 21 CFR and under FDA product code MBQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 854389.

UNSPSC 42141816 Electromagnetic therapy stimulators is a Commodity code that captures specialized medical and therapeutic equipment, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal code scope and what is actually being purchased. The recent opportunities show procurement of general durable medical equipment (DME), athletic training services, law enforcement gear, school sports and conditioning supplies, and educational equipment — none of which align directly with electromagnetic therapy devices. The issuing bodies span state health agencies, school districts, cities, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose districts across multiple states, but the code shows minimal recent activity specifically for electromagnetic therapy stimulators.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFP No. HHS0017173 in May 2026 seeking master contracts for durable medical equipment and services to support comprehensive rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury populations across eleven geographic regions, with a June 2, 2026 proposal deadline and a contract ceiling of $5,000,000 through August 31, 2031; the procurement includes a 21.1 percent HUB utilization requirement and covers respiratory supplies, communication aids, orthotics, prosthetics, positioning devices, wheelchairs, and biofeedback devices — none explicitly electromagnetic therapy. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas posted an invitation for catalog discount bids on special education and supplies (SPE2628) with an October 1, 2026 deadline and an estimated two-year contract value of $2,713,541 for cooperative members. The City of Tucson issued an RFP for athletic training services for fire and police departments with a June 9, 2026 deadline. Sourcewell posted RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions with a June 16, 2026 deadline. The code shows no focused recent activity for electromagnetic therapy stimulators as a standalone product category; vendors should verify whether procurement opportunities are genuinely seeking electromagnetic therapy equipment or are miscoded within the system.
