UNSPSC 42181722: Pulse wave analyzers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that records pulse waves in a human. US FDA regulates Pulse wave analyzers under 21 CFR 870.3630 and under FDA product code DTC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 903020.

UNSPSC 42181722 Pulse wave analyzers is a Commodity code that encompasses medical diagnostic equipment used to measure arterial compliance and cardiovascular function. State and local governments procure pulse wave analyzers primarily through medical supply cooperative purchasing agreements and framework contracts that serve multiple agencies and jurisdictions simultaneously. The work involves providing qualified vendors who can deliver this specialized diagnostic equipment at competitive, volume-based pricing to state health departments, hospital systems, public health agencies, and other municipal healthcare entities.

The recent opportunities under this code originate from cooperative purchasing consortia rather than individual agencies. NASPO ValuePoint, a multi-state cooperative purchasing organization, posted two related solicitations in September and October 2026 for medical supplies master agreements—RFP NVP_1443 and RFP 1433—both with responses due November 9, 2026. These cooperatives span state and local entities across multiple states, with Idaho and South Dakota named as administering states. The solicitations seek to establish framework agreements with qualified medical-supply vendors that participating public entities can leverage for favorable unit pricing and terms. However, the available posting materials do not specify pulse wave analyzers as an explicitly identified line item within the broader medical-supplies scope, nor do they detail contract value, incumbent vendors, or category-specific evaluation criteria. The third opportunity in the recent block—Sourcewell RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—is unrelated to this Commodity code and does not reflect relevant activity. Limited public documentation exists for pulse wave analyzer procurement under this code; the NASPO opportunities represent the primary recent market signal, though they do not isolate this device type from a larger medical-supplies framework.
