UNSPSC 42181719: Electrocardiography EKG transmitters or telemetry devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates the peripheral transmitters or telemetry devices 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 42181719 Electrocardiography EKG transmitters or telemetry devices is a Commodity code that captures portable cardiac monitoring and transmission equipment procured by state and local health systems, emergency medical services, and public health agencies. State and local governments buy these devices to support patient monitoring, remote diagnostics, and clinical telemetry infrastructure within hospitals, clinics, ambulances, and public health facilities. The issuing bodies span state health departments, regional cooperatives administering multi-jurisdictional procurement frameworks, and county or municipal public health and emergency services divisions. Recent activity shows that cooperative purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint and Sourcewell are actively structuring master agreements that make EKG and telemetry equipment available to dozens or hundreds of participating public entities across multiple states simultaneously, allowing individual agencies to order under established pricing and terms rather than conducting standalone solicitations.

The most recent opportunities supporting this code appear in two geographically distinct cooperative procurement vehicles. Texas posted NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 on behalf of Idaho state agencies on October 6, 2026, with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishing a medical supplies framework that includes cardiac monitoring devices and seeking competitive unit pricing with potential tiered discounts based on order volume. Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit) issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 deadline; while nominally framed as law enforcement equipment, this cooperative procurement is structured to serve thousands of governmental agencies nationwide and across Canada, suggesting that cardiac monitoring devices may fall within a broader "public safety and emergency response" category purchased through the vehicle. The code shows limited single-jurisdiction activity in the recent record; procurement under this code clusters within cooperative purchasing frameworks where medical supply or emergency equipment agreements are being centralized to serve multiple states and entity types concurrently.
