UNSPSC 42181701: Electrocardiography EKG units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of an animal. US FDA regulates Electrocardiography EKG units under 21 CFR 870.2340 and under FDA product code DPS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 842139.

UNSPSC 42181701 Electrocardiography EKG units is a Commodity code that describes medical diagnostic equipment for cardiac monitoring, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal direct sourcing under this code. The single identified recent opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — is tagged to this code but does not reflect actual EKG procurement; it targets law enforcement agencies across multiple Washington counties and participating jurisdictions nationwide. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the law enforcement equipment solicitation suggests that EKG units see limited activity in the visible state and local procurement market, or that they are typically embedded in broader medical equipment or emergency services procurements under different codes.

The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle behind RFP #061626 spans Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, with participation from thousands of governmental entities, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. No award value, set-aside designation, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in the available documentation. Interested vendors must register on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal to access bid documents and submit proposals; general inquiries should be directed to rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The lack of substantive recent opportunities specifically for EKG units in the state and local procurement record suggests that this code warrants monitoring rather than immediate pursuit unless your firm is positioned to respond to embedded medical equipment buys through cooperative frameworks.
