UNSPSC 42181602: Electronic blood pressure units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a device used in mercury based blood pressure measuring procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Electronic blood pressure units under 21 CFR 870.1110 and under FDA product code DSK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181602 Electronic blood pressure units is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it bear no relationship to electronic blood pressure equipment. The opportunities instead span institutional sprinkler-head replacement, cooperative medical-supplies master agreements, and law enforcement equipment procurement—none of which involve blood pressure monitoring devices or related medical instrumentation. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these solicitations or dormancy in actual blood pressure unit procurement at the state and local level.

The three posted opportunities—a Collin County, Texas IFB for fire suppression retrofit in a county jail (due November 19, 2026), a NASPO ValuePoint cooperative RFP for medical supplies administered by Idaho and South Dakota (due November 9, 2026), and a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026, now closed)—appear to have been miscoded or represent a broader medical-supplies or equipment category that does not isolate blood pressure units as a line item. Without concrete solicitations actually requesting electronic blood pressure units from state or local issuing bodies, geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, and market activity cannot be reliably characterized under this code.
