UNSPSC 42181706: Electrocardiography EKG monitor screens

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral monitor screens 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 852849.

UNSPSC 42181706 Electrocardiography EKG monitor screens is a Commodity code covering point-of-care diagnostic monitoring equipment that state and local health systems, public safety agencies, and clinical procurement teams source through framework agreements and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code encompasses standalone and integrated EKG display units deployed in hospital emergency departments, urgent care clinics, ambulance services, and first-responder stations. State and local buyers under this code include state health departments, county and municipal emergency medical services, hospital districts, and participating entities in cooperative purchasing consortia. A single representative recent opportunity—NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 for Idaho Medical Supplies, posted October 6, 2026, with proposals due November 9, 2026—establishes a statewide medical supply framework serving Idaho state agencies and other NASPO ValuePoint members; the RFP encompasses multiple medical supply categories, vendors must provide product catalogs and tiered unit pricing, and evaluation centers on vendor qualifications and pricing competitiveness, with funding drawn from agency budgets as items are ordered.

Recent activity appears sparse under this specific commodity code. The second opportunity in the available records—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026—is tagged to this code but represents a cooperative procurement for broad law enforcement equipment rather than EKG monitors specifically, and does not reflect buying patterns aligned with the code's nominal scope. The geographic spread of documented recent activity is limited to Idaho (NASPO ValuePoint framework) and the multi-state Sourcewell cooperative (Minnesota-administered, serving participating counties in Washington state and beyond). Vendors pursuing this code should monitor NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell procurement portals for framework opportunities and watch for state health department RFQs supporting emergency medical services procurement cycles, which typically align with fiscal-year budget planning and equipment replacement schedules.
