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 covering heart monitoring and cardiac signal transmission equipment. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—is classified under law enforcement equipment rather than medical telemetry devices, indicating a potential source mismatch rather than genuine demand for EKG transmitters under this code in the state and local market. That solicitation, managed by Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative purchasing vehicle), targets law enforcement agencies across multiple jurisdictions including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, though the actual inclusion of cardiac monitoring equipment in that law enforcement equipment procurement remains unclear from the available documentation.

The geographic spread implied by the single available record reflects Washington state and broader Sourcewell membership spanning the United States and Canada, but no additional state-specific activity under the code appears in recent solicitations. With only one opportunity on record and its relationship to the code's EKG-and-telemetry scope ambiguous, this code does not show active state and local demand for the product category as currently classified. Business development professionals should verify whether cardiac telemetry equipment is genuinely being sourced through state and local RFPs, ITBs, and cooperative agreements, or whether this code sits dormant in the state procurement ecosystem relative to hospital systems, emergency medical services, and public health authorities' actual acquisition patterns.
