UNSPSC 42141823: Electrotherapy vacuum electrode systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provides electrotherapy vacuum based to a person in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 854370.

UNSPSC 42141823 Electrotherapy vacuum electrode systems is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source contains nine recent opportunities tagged across state and local jurisdictions, but only one—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Master Contract for Durable Medical Equipment and Services—explicitly encompasses electrotherapy or vacuum electrode systems as part of a broader DME portfolio. The HHSC solicitation (HHS0017173, RFP, due June 2, 2026) seeks DME vendors across eleven categories serving individuals with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries across eleven Texas geographic regions, with biofeedback devices listed among the covered categories; the contract term runs through August 31, 2031 with a potential one-year extension, a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal set-aside, and a not-to-exceed cumulative compensation of $5 million. The remaining eight opportunities in the source—including a California DHS request for SciFit Pro2 equipment, Tucson Fire/Police athletic training services, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative, school district supplies for athletics and special education, Pinal County detention center behavioral coaching, and a California tablet procurement—fall outside the electrotherapy and vacuum electrode systems scope and do not support market characterization for the code.

The code shows no activity from counties, municipalities, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts in the recent-opportunities block, and geographic coverage is limited to Texas for the single DME-relevant solicitation. The Texas HHSC opportunity represents the only decision-relevant signal: a state health agency procuring DME master contracts across multiple categories with rural and remote delivery requirements, 24-hour emergency repair turnaround, comprehensive insurance and HIPAA compliance, and pricing capped at CMS DMEPOS competitive bidding fee schedules. Absent additional state or local opportunities specifically naming electrotherapy, vacuum electrode, or related electrostimulation equipment, this code currently supports minimal pipeline activity and warrants close monitoring for expansion signals from state Medicaid agencies, state rehabilitation departments, or municipal health systems managing post-injury recovery programs.
