UNSPSC 42181700: Electrocardiography EKG units and related products

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in Electrocardiography based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42181700 Electrocardiography EKG units and related products is a Class code covering diagnostic cardiac monitoring equipment and supplies that state and local governments procure for healthcare facilities, emergency medical services, and public health departments. The recent solicitations identified under this code show little direct alignment with electrocardiography equipment; the source records capture two cooperative purchasing RFPs—one for general medical supplies through NASPO ValuePoint and one for law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell—neither of which appears to be specifically focused on EKG units or cardiac diagnostic products. Issuing bodies active in state and local medical-supply procurement include state departments (Idaho), cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), and county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington). These entities use cooperative vehicles to aggregate demand and extend purchasing access to school districts, nonprofit organizations, and other public entities.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest, with recent cooperative RFPs posted by Sourcewell (Minnesota-based, serving Washington counties and nationwide public entities) and NASPO ValuePoint (Idaho-sponsored). Representative recent opportunities include the Idaho Medical Supplies RFP (NVP1443, posted October 6, 2026, proposals due November 9, 2026) through the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative vehicle, which establishes a medical-supply framework with competitive unit pricing and potential volume discounts for participating state agencies and public entities, and the Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (061626, posted May 12, 2026, deadline June 16, 2026), which is a broad cooperative procurement serving multiple jurisdictions. The code shows limited recent solicitation activity narrowly focused on electrocardiography equipment itself; vendors pursuing state and local EKG procurement should monitor health-system RFPs, emergency medical services equipment acquisitions, and public-health cooperative contracts rather than expecting dedicated cardiac-equipment solicitations at the Class code level.
