UNSPSC 42181605: Blood pressure cuffs or bladders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cuff or bladder portion of a blood pressure machine used in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Blood pressure cuffs or bladders under 21 CFR 870.1120 and under FDA product code DXQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181605 Blood pressure cuffs or bladders is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect purchases of blood pressure measurement equipment. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span institutional facility maintenance (sprinkler head replacement at a county jail), cooperative medical-supply frameworks (NASPO ValuePoint master agreements for broad medical-commodity distribution), and law-enforcement equipment procurement through a multistate cooperative vehicle. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or that state and local procurement systems are tagging broadly under this Commodity when the precise equipment classification is uncertain. The few traceable opportunities show activity from county purchasing offices and state cooperative consortia, but none center on blood pressure cuffs, bladders, or related diagnostic instruments.

The most recent concrete opportunity is Collin County, Texas's IFB 2026-389 (posted October 15, 2026, with bids due November 19, 2026) for sprinkler head replacement at the county jail in McKinney—a $150,000 construction project unrelated to medical devices. NASPO ValuePoint has posted two separate medical-supply master-agreement RFPs (both due November 9, 2026) administered through Idaho's procurement system and open to state and local entities nationwide, though neither specifies blood pressure measurement equipment in the available summaries. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) rounds out the recent record. Geographic activity is sparse and scattered across Texas, Idaho, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity for blood pressure cuffs or related diagnostic equipment in state and local procurement.
