UNSPSC 42143704: Phototherapy light mats

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a light mat in a medical procedure that employs the use of light in the treatment of physical or mental illness. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42143704 Phototherapy light mats (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four opportunities posted between May and October 2026 under this code involve outpatient building furniture, computerized dynamic posturography and motion rehabilitation equipment, law enforcement equipment, and athletic strength and conditioning supplies—none of which are phototherapy light mats or closely related medical devices. The code appears either misapplied by issuing bodies or underutilized for its intended product category in the state and local market during this period.

The opportunities span California (State of California outpatient facility procurement via RFB-IS-27200168), Texas (Lamar University equipment via IFB 734-05202026-AS and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District supplies via RFP ASCP0526), and a multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment covering Washington state counties and entities nationwide). No issuing body has posted a procurement explicitly requesting phototherapy light mats, and the geographic spread reflects the incidental tagging of unrelated commodities rather than demand concentration for the code's stated product. Business development professionals should treat this code as currently inactive for phototherapy applications and monitor whether issuing bodies begin to correctly categorize medical light therapy equipment under 42143704 in coming quarters.
