UNSPSC 42181705: Electrocardiography EKG graphic recorders

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral graphic recorders for a product that can record and measure electronic waves generated from the heart of a human. US FDA regulates Electrocardiography EKG graphic recorders under 21 CFR 870.2340 and under FDA product code DPS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42181705 Electrocardiography EKG graphic recorders is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no documented solicitations for EKG or cardiac monitoring equipment. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026—addresses law enforcement gear with a June 16, 2026 response deadline and does not include medical diagnostic instrumentation within its stated scope. The mismatch suggests the code either sees minimal state and local procurement activity or was misapplied to a non-medical solicitation in the available records.

The Sourcewell RFP is a cooperative purchasing vehicle established under Minnesota law (RCW 39.34) and encompasses participating jurisdictions across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and entities nationwide and in Canada, including K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. The structure allows selected vendor(s) to serve thousands of governmental agencies through a participating addendum framework. No set-asides, award values, or incumbent vendors are identified in the solicitation materials. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; questions proceed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. Without additional recent opportunities clearly aligned to EKG or electrocardiography procurement, the code does not support a reliable characterization of current state and local buying patterns in this device category.
