UNSPSC 42181704: Electrocardiography EKG calipers or rulers

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral calipers or rulers for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181704 Electrocardiography EKG calipers or rulers is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical diagnostic instruments used in cardiac assessment. Recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct procurement of EKG calipers; the single opportunity identified — a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment — does not align with the code's nominal medical device scope. The mismatch suggests that this Commodity code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local markets, or that issuing bodies are tagging broadly framed equipment solicitations with codes that do not reflect their actual procurement needs.

The Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, was issued by Sourcewell (a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state, with potential use across thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, budget ranges, or award values in available documentation. Geographic spread based on recent activity is limited to the Minnesota and Washington state region, though the cooperative structure permits national and cross-border deployment. The absence of additional recent Commodity-level opportunities under this code suggests it warrants close monitoring for emerging state and local medical equipment procurement activity rather than immediate pursuit.
