UNSPSC 42144302: External counterpulsation ECP cuff or pants

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product consisting of either pants or cuffs used in an external counterpulsation procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 621010.

UNSPSC 42144302 External counterpulsation ECP cuff or pants is a Commodity code with little recent procurement activity directly matching its scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for external counterpulsation equipment; instead, the seven listed opportunities span laser equipment for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance, law enforcement equipment through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, intraosseous infusion systems, educational materials for career and technical programs, ultrasound systems, and spinal implants. None of these align with the narrowly defined counterpulsation therapeutic device category the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the recent opportunity set suggests either misclassification of opportunities in the source data or minimal recent state and local procurement activity under this specific UNSPSC category. State and local health systems, counties, and hospital networks remain active buyers of medical devices and surgical equipment—as evidenced by the San Mateo County Medical Center RFPs for laser and surgical power equipment, Hillsborough County's ventilator maintenance ITB, Marion County's EZ-IO infusion system procurement, and UTHSA's spinal implant RFP—but none of those solicitations involve external counterpulsation cuffs or pants. Vendors targeting this code should verify that posted opportunities are accurately coded before pursuing and should monitor for future activity in cardiac support and non-surgical intervention equipment categories within health system and county hospital networks.
