UNSPSC 42181601: Aneroid blood pressure units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a device used in electronic blood pressure measuring procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Aneroid blood pressure units under 21 CFR 870.1120 and under FDA product code KRK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181601 Aneroid blood pressure units, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references manual, non-electronic blood pressure measurement devices, yet the three recent opportunities posted under this code involve sprinkler-head replacement (Collin County, Texas), cooperative medical-supplies framework agreements (NASPO ValuePoint), and law-enforcement equipment procurement (Sourcewell). Only the NASPO ValuePoint medical-supplies RFPs suggest potential relevance to clinical or medical equipment purchasing, though those solicitations do not specify aneroid blood pressure units or detail commodity-level product categories. The sprinkler replacement and law-enforcement opportunities are unrelated to the code's nominal intent.

The recent posting activity spans Texas (Collin County IFB for sprinkler replacement, October 2026), a multi-state NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle administered by South Dakota and Idaho (RFP NVP_1443, due November 9, 2026), and a Sourcewell cooperative procurement spanning Washington counties and multiple jurisdictions nationwide (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026). The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope—combined with the absence of solicitations that directly reference aneroid blood pressure units, clinical diagnostics procurement, or health-equipment purchasing—suggests the code does not currently represent active or relevant opportunity flow for vendors in the medical devices or clinical-supply space. Procurement professionals should treat this code with caution and verify scope alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
