UNSPSC 42141825: Electrotherapy units

A medical device that helps generate and deliver small pulses of electrical current to the user's skin through adhesive electrode pads. The device can be be used for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in the shoulders, waist, neck, back, arms, legs, hands and soles of feet due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities.

UNSPSC 42141825 Electrotherapy units (Commodity) encompasses specialized medical and therapeutic equipment that state and local governments procure primarily through educational and healthcare purchasing cooperatives and direct agency contracts. Recent solicitation activity shows this code applied to a broad range of therapeutic and fitness equipment serving rehabilitation, public safety, and educational populations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a multi-region Master Contract solicitation (HHS0017173) for Durable Medical Equipment and Services across eleven DME categories supporting traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury rehabilitation programs, with contract value not to exceed $5,000,000 over a five-year term plus optional extension. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted a Catalog Discount Bid (SPE2628) for special education and supplies with estimated expenditures of $2,713,541 over two years, anticipating awards to multiple vendors. The City of Tucson sought athletic training services (260163) for fire and police departments with injury prevention and rehabilitation components, and Harlington Consolidated Independent School District solicited athletic strength and conditioning equipment and supplies (ASCP0526). The California Department of Health Services issued a bid for SciFit Pro2 equipment (RFBIS26200998) but source materials do not disclose specifications, quantities, or contract value beyond the June 12, 2026 due date.

Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, purchasing cooperatives serving multiple school districts and local governments, municipal city governments, and independent school districts. Texas appears as the primary recent activity hub with three separate opportunities, followed by California and Arizona. Sourcewell cooperative procurement (061626) for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026 demonstrates how equipment codes support multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing frameworks. The geographic spread includes Texas, California, Arizona, and Washington-based Sourcewell member jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Contract structures vary from fixed-price master agreements with defined utilization periods and CMS DMEPOS fee schedule compliance to cooperative discount catalogs serving hundreds of member organizations, indicating mixed purchasing models within the code's scope.
