UNSPSC 42181718: Electrocardiography EKG recording pens

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. US FDA regulates Electrocardiography EKG recording pens under 21 CFR 870.2340 and under FDA product code DPS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42181718 Electrocardiography EKG recording pens is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows limited direct solicitation for the narrow product category itself. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026—is tagged to this code but actually solicits broad law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are not currently posting stand-alone solicitations for EKG recording pens under this code; the tagged opportunity does not reflect actual demand for the commodity.

The Sourcewell RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026, is a Request for Proposals issued by Sourcewell (a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) covering participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative structure makes the resulting contract(s) available to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, tribal governments, and nonprofits through a participating addendum. Proposals must be submitted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by 3:30 p.m. Central Time. However, because this solicitation addresses law enforcement equipment broadly and does not specify EKG recording pens as a line item or requirement, activity under this code does not yet signal actionable procurement demand for the commodity itself in the state and local market.
