UNSPSC 42181528: Skin electrical resistance measuring devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a device to measure the amount of electrical resistance in the skin of a patient in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Skin electrical resistance measuring devices under 21 CFR 882.1540 and under FDA product code LMY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42181528 Skin electrical resistance measuring devices is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The two NASPO ValuePoint RFPs posted in September and October 2026 for medical supplies frame the code's nominal scope, but neither solicitation specifies skin electrical resistance measurement equipment as an enumerated line item or provides detailed commodity breakdowns. Both RFPs establish master-agreement frameworks for broad medical-supplies purchasing across participating state and local entities, with vendors required to submit comprehensive catalogs and competitive unit pricing. The third recent opportunity, Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, is unrelated to the code's scope and appears to be a source-system mislabeling. State and local governments appear to procure skin electrical resistance measuring devices, if at all, as subordinate items within larger medical-supplies master agreements rather than as standalone category purchases.

The NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies RFPs (NVP1433 and RFP 1433) span multiple states through cooperative purchasing consortia, with Idaho as a sponsoring state and South Dakota as the administering state for the ValuePoint vehicle; participating entities include health departments, state agencies, and county governments across the network. Both opportunities carry a response deadline of November 9, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Mountain West and upper Midwest regions, though the cooperative structure extends availability nationwide. The absence of dedicated recent solicitations targeting skin electrical resistance measurement equipment specifically suggests the code sees minimal standalone purchasing velocity in state and local markets; vendors should monitor broader medical-supplies master agreements and framework RFPs to identify bid opportunities where measurement devices may be incorporated as line items.
